For those of you who think they don't "get" jazz, Coltrane's "My Favorite Things" is a great eye opener. It's a bit long but the tune should be very familiar and recognizable. If you pay attention, and jazz is a type of music that is best enjoyed with attention, you can easily follow what Coltrane is doing to that tune. It gets played, extended, deformed, touched, hinted, lifted and lowered by the creative forces of a great artist. And that's really what jazz is all about.

And then there is this solo by McCoy Tyner, possibly one of the best ever: https://youtu.be/ehYM_cg2DHI https://youtu.be/ehYM_cg2DHI

    One of my favorite songs of all time. I love Michael Brecker but McCoy is incredible here as well obviously. It feels like they are just pulling music out of each other https://youtu.be/InshjZ9paQE https://youtu.be/InshjZ9paQE
