John Coltrane: My Favourite Things - East meets West -

John Coltrane's interpretation was influenced by music from the Indian subcontinent. This tribute therefore makes total sense. The Sachal Jazz ensemble from Lahore, Pakistan and the Wynton Marsalis quintet at The Marciac jazz festival, July 2013. #Makejazznotwar! The magic in this arrangement for me is Baqir Abbas on flute!

Baqir Abbas is my blood brother. More powerful, mystical and soul stirring than his mastery of this piece of bamboo called a bansuri, is the man himself and his character.

Man, I still can’t get over Walter’s solo at 2:45. Never fails to give me goosebumps

[fvinevnt]

Western music is like a casual walk on a busy city life and Eastern music is like that of calm breeze of the nature.. THE COMBINATION IS PERFECT

Rest in peace John Coltrane 🙏

Can we please talk about how amazing that pianist is. He adapts McCoys sound and even his harmonic approach at the phrasing and turns it into something yet different and individual.

I don't understand the 652 people who posted a thumbs down on this wonderful music, if you don't like it, go play with yourselves esewhere !

Jazz is truth ....truth is universal .... transcending time ... staying fresh ...staying true to the moment...the player stays in the moment.

[edgeable]

I really like that flautists' sound, it's clear he worked really hard to get that kind of a sound out of that instrument, even though I've never heard any other bansuri flutes before.

[emilynightingale]

musical meets jazz meets indian classical music... yes...

[seouljazzylife]

[viralone]

Holy shit that's the most beautiful sounding flute I've heard in my 50 years. Beautiful composition.

[goodknight]

Every musician shines here, but that flute solo 👌

[TallSomeone]

Good God, that stick of wood in that master’s hands ...

[gamerswag]

3:05 when the sax releases that tension it gives me goosebumps

[canaldofelipe]

This flute is one of the most beautiful things I ever heard

[viajantedosol]

Great arrangement. The sax sounds like Coltrane's and when the flute starts it's pure magic.

[jamescampbell]

Fantastic fusion. I'm sure Coltrane would have dug it. Thanks for posting, Hassan.

This is how we remove the separatists' boundaries of people's and cultures, emersive musical journies synchronizing our cultures through music in harmony. If it could all be so simple.

As a tabla player myself, the true hero is Ustad Ijaz Hussain Baloo Khan. Truly magnificent tabla playing!
