“You can play a shoestring if you're sincere.”

—John Coltrane

John Coltrane was born on September 23, 1926, in Hamlet, North Carolina. During the 1940s and '50s, he continued to develop his craft as a saxophonist and composer, working with famed musicians/bandleaders Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington and Miles Davis. Coltrane turned the jazz world on its head with technically marvelous, innovative playing that was thrillingly dense and fluid in its understanding of the genre; his virtuosity and vision could be heard on the now revered albums Giant Steps, My Favorite Things and A Love Supreme, among others. He died from liver cancer at 40 years old on July 17, 1967, in Huntington, Long Island, New York.

He was an"angel" sent here to set a standard of excellence based on his identifiable approach and own sound despite living in a racist country! To me, that's what is missing more then ever!

@Helslinky no he wasn't. he did heroin for awhile, but ended up quiting. cold turkey. In fact he continued to play in a band with people that were users, and was able to have enough self control to never go back to that habit. Pretty unbelievable. True story.

1, Where can I hear Coltrane playing two notes at once? I think that'd be an interesting thing to hear. 2, What's the ballad at 1:00?

Some of my favorite Coltrane recordings were those that he made for Prestige. As I type this I'm listening to a CD of African/Brass, his first recording on Impulse. After recording briefly for Blue Note and Atlantic, John spent the rest of his career with Impulse, ABC's Jazz subsidiary label, throughout the 1960s.

@12345678910aaronable "I Want To Talk About You". If this is the first time you have heard John Coltrane play this, you have a lot to look forward to, as he played this many times in his career and his interpretation changed significantly. I think it was first on the Prestige LP "SoulTrane". There is a later, great version on YT. Search for "I Want To Talk About You - 1962".
