| | John Coltrane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Coltrane would use much of what he learned with Davis to run his own groups, namely allowing musicians to solo and improvise with their own sensibilities as well as eschewing involvement with his audience and remaining aloof to press. | | | Coltrane's recording rate was astonishingly prolific: he released about fifty recordings as a leader in these twelve years, and appeared on dozens more led by other musicians. | | | Coltrane began playing music and practicing obsessively at about this time. |

| | Coltrane also configured his recording groups in a variety of ways, sometimes using two bassists or two drummers; once he recorded an album of duets with just himself and a drummer (Interstellar Space, 1967). | | | Along with American saxophonist Charlie Parker, Coltrane is considered one of the most influential saxophonists in the history of jazz music. | | | Some of Coltrane’s music in the 1960s was so dense and complex that it seemed almost chaotic. |

| | Coltrane's usage of the "konkolo," his ability to fill up all of the musical space ("sheets of sound"), his development of the speech-to-sound continuum, and his idea that music and religion were inseparable all demonstrate the fact that he strove to disengage from traditional Western musical methods. | | | John Coltrane's suite "A Love Supreme" ended his search and began a new phase for musicians and music listeners. | | | Coltrane, in his solo, re-emphasizes the fight between himself and evil before returning to the melodic figure which introduces the song. |

| | ISAM Newsletter: Meditations on Coltrane's Legacies |
| | Coltrane’s music from 1957 onward is understood a sacred text and figures prominently in the church’s liturgy. | | | Coltrane’s music embodied these principles in such a way as to stand against the idolatry of technique that has been the potential danger of jazz ever since it became primarily a listener’s music rather than a dance music in the 1940s. | | | Coltrane’s musical innovations combined his harmonic and melodic discoveries with the quartet’s rhythmic innovations. |

| | About John Coltrane |
| | Through a passion of innovation, John Coltrane perfected his own calculus of musical impossibility--for him, the world became regenerated inwardly by the musical afflatus. | | | Harper's "Dear John, Dear Coltrane," for example, in the brooding intensity of its incantatory lyricism, turns upon a metaphor of cosmic, and searing, musicality. | | | John Coltrane's immersion in modern jazz took place in bands led by Eddie Vinson, Dizzy Gillespie, and Johnny Hodges. |

| | Coltrane was born into a musical family, his father played ukulele and violin and his mother played piano. | | | The impact of Coltrane's classic combo and his saxophone improvisations are still felt by today's jazz musicians. | | | In 1949 Coltrane was recorded for the first time with Dizzy Gillespie's big band, now on tenor saxophone. |

| | Coltrane's cries are not "musical," but they are music and quite moving music. | | | Coltrane was the first jazz musician to be so greatly influenced by Eastern music and philosophy. | | | This is not to say that Coltrane was merely mimicking Bechet, for the entire album, including Blues to Bechet, is most certainly a Coltrane album, but rather, that Coltrane knew the roots of his instrument and knew where he was coming from. |

| | Coltrane's playing was intensely melodic and often a solo would consist of cascading and childlike melodies, bounced off of the rolling rhythm section. | | | Greatly influenced by the younger generation of radical improvisers, Coltrane's recordings and concerts became increasingly abstract and he was joined onstage by firebreathers like Archie Shepp. | | | From non-existent to one of Coltrane's greatest albums in one jump. |

| | John Coltrane is, together with Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker (and I already dare to include Brad Mehldau who brings again together jazz and classical European music), one of the rare musicians who brought fundamental change to jazz. | | | In March 1965, Coltrane played in the New York Village Gate, on the musical, social and racial level an avant-garde place of the "New Black Music". | | | Coltrane's starting point was improvisation, whereas with Coleman, composition came first (Joachim-Ernst Berendt). |

| | John Coltrane became an inspiration and a symbol to those involved with social causes, with world peace, with the music and religion of the East, with rock and roll, with the connection between the musical and the spiritual, with the future of jazz and of the human race in general. | | | Coltrane stayed with Gillespie until around 1951, moving back to Philadelphia and again embarking on a course of formal study, this time in music theory at the Granoff School of Music. | | | Davis did it by sheer ambitious determination, gritting his teeth and presenting a confrontational yet often enigmatic image in the face of diversity. |

| | John Coltrane |
| | Although he'd released a few other albums under his name, this is in many senses Coltrane's first solo album: the first album of mostly Coltrane originals; the first album where he picked the personnel and the tunes beforehand, rather than just walking in off the street and blowing on whatever tunes happened to be around. | | | Four duets between Coltrane and Ali (one extra tune on the CD release), and the lack of bass and piano result in freer improvisations than ever; "Venus" is strangely beautiful, like nothing else you'll ever hear. | | | Coltrane is at his most lyrical, and the quartet is in its usual high form, and unlike Ballads, the material is high quality (Gallop and DeRose's "Autumn Serenade"; Rodgers and Hart's "You Are Too Beautiful"). |

| | Coltrane's music at the time was ever increasing in its complexity. | | | There are few higher things in music than listening to Trane come in on "So What." In a way, it signals his powerful re-entry into the forefront of music. | | | I felt an important thing in this discovery was to try to put myself into Coltrane's mind and important for this it seemed that I should progress through his discography in a chronological order rather than haphazard listen to something from the early years and then the later years. |

| | The only album John Coltrane recorded for Blue Note as a leader turned out to be one of his most rewarding statements, not to mention a highlight of Blue Note's recording history. | | | Even the simplest of blues structures provided enough room for Coltrane's harmonic curiosity, his searing emotional flurries, and his "sheets of sound" approach. | | | The buoyant original "Moment's Notice" offers especially exuberant solos from all three hornmen plus a terrific arco (bowed) solo from Chambers. |

| | Coltrane began leading his own record dates in '57, but stayed with Davis, who released a landmark recording in 1959, "Kind of Blue," which remains one of the top-selling jazz albums of all time. | | | Yet the saxophonist was capable of creating works of breathtaking simplicity and stripped-down beauty, as with "Naima." That ballad, found on Coltrane's first great album, "Giant Steps" (1959), represented his serene side, the antipode of the hyperspeed obstacle course of the title song. | | | The album achieved a balance of serenity and explosiveness that Coltrane would embody for the rest of his career. |
