John Coltrane (Part 1)
Show Description:
No modern jazz musician has a sound more influential yet less attainable than
saxophonist John Coltrane. His pure tone was established by the mid-'50s,
playing in Miles Davis' hard bop quintet. Coltrane's career was characterized
by his constant, exponential advancement in improvisational technique and
ideas. His sound reached its peak in his quartet of the '60s, which has served
as a model for modern jazz ensembles for the last forty years.
