John Coltrane Quartet - Wise One free for downloading

This is gorgeous.. It's crazy how music like this can tell a story without words.. (Enjoying)

There were many artists that got me thru the night whose songs eased my heart and mind being twenty one in Vietnam. For this music kept me in touch with all the memories of home.

John Coltrane was and still is the greatest saxophonist on the Jazz scene who is resting in power right now. His music is comforting.

One of the most beautiful songs ever created.

you can feel the joy and sadness of life in his music.all at the same time

The 7 people who gave a thumbs down to this are not wise ones.

Belongs in the same firmament as Beethoven, Bach and Mozart.

The folks with a thumbs down must be deaf. Or else they have a hole in their soul.

Huge Jazz fan. In the 80's I would buy an occasional Trane album. Would play it and immediately put it away. I couldn't get was so special about him. I bought this album. Played it and never played it again until a few years later. That second time after hearing Wise One again, really listening to it, I GOT it! I dug out my Coltrane albums and played them. It suddenly all made sense. Sometimes you just have to grow into things. Earlier, I wasn't ready for his music.

This song has such feeling I thought it ought to be the first music my youngest son heard.

Jazz is like the literature of the modern musical world. Whereas pop music is like a magazine or a pamphlet. It gets you along, but when you want to study the truest nature of musical expression, ya gotta go with jazz. The art of communicating through music is at its purest form in jazz.

How in the world ..at 60.. have I not discovered this until now...life is full of great moments..♡♡

I always think, in all moods, that Coltrane is hands down the greatest musical genius of the twentieth century, and this is a perfect example of why.

Amazing timeless music by an Out of this World Jazz ensemble..... Genius !!!

I believe that Maestro Coltrane was a Saintly man and a musician who along The Maestros Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, and James Garrison, developed a vocabulary and aesthetic which is now part of the language of Jazz. This band changed my life as a young man

Back in the '90s when I was living in London I played this song for a Palestinian journalist who was assigned to that post for a Gulf newspaper. He had never heard one note of jazz in his life and I played Wise One for him. He started to cry and said that he could feel and touch with his heart the 400 years of Africans in America. Sadness and extreme joy at the same time.

Simple... this is one of the most deepest musical interpretations in the history of mankind. This is music, this is John's soul, our soul, this is everybody's.

I have said it previous comments and i reiterate: difficult to believe that someone with Trane's gift for communicating such intense spirituality actually lived and breathed among us. I am humbled and uplifted every time i listen to his music.

A supreme player of ballads. An identifiable tone. One of the greatest .
