John Coltrane "Afro Blue"

Many artists have covered this tune.  But here's the original in all it's glory.  John Coltrane, "Afro Blue", written by Mongo Santamaria.  This is the classic version of the John Coltrane Quartet featuring:

John Coltrane: soprano saxophone
McCoy Tyner: piano
Jimmy Garrison: bass
Elvin Jones: drums



Here's a bonus, too.  This is a trio version of "Afro Blue" covered by three more jazz masters.  This version features John Scofield on guitar, Dave Holland on bass, and Roy Haynes, on drums.

  1. The Coltrane quartet version is still viewable, but the Scofield/Holland/Haynes version, has been removed or has disappeared.
