This is what John Coltrane's landmark tune and solo look like when they come to life on paper.

Weird, I know, but the transcription book that I based this animation on was in concert. You can buy the sheet music here: www.amazon.com

The melody is heard numerous times throughout the almost 14-minute version, and instead of soloing over the written chord changes, both Tyner and Coltrane taking extended solos over vamps of the two tonic chords, E minor and E major.

John Coltrane plays "On Green Dolphin Street" in Dusseldorf, Germany, March 1960. This is ultra rare footage featuring Coltrane with the Miles Davis Quintet of the time, sans Miles.
