John Coltrane’s legacy defies boundaries. From his
early days in Philadelphia to his final, frenzied explorations into the musical
unknown, Coltrane stretched modern music into new dimensions. He used the
saxophone as a means of projecting his inner spirit into the world by
masterfully harnessing jazz, the blues and pure soul in each performance. From
tender ballads to volcanic live performances and meditative suites, each track
in this collection works to create a portrait of musical genius. Coltrane’s artistry
reminds us that music goes far beyond the page — the sounds he created will
keep us listening, feeling, and marvelling for generations.
