	John Coltrane
		Coltrane's energetic soprano workout on the title song (in 3/4, then rare in jazz) made his reputation and remained one of his most requested songs for the rest of his career.
		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 ventures into the sort of collective improvisation pioneered by Sun Ra and Ornette Coleman, adding several horn players to the quartet and playing one tune (built on a five-note blues riff) for the entire album.

	John Coltrane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coltrane was with this first edition of the Davis group from October 1955 through April 1957 (with a few absences), a period which saw influential recordings from Davis and the first signs of Coltrane's growing ability.
		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 and Sanders were described by Nat Hentoff as "speaking in tongues," an interesting interpretation seen relative to Coltrane's Christian upbringing in the south.

		Coltrane was fired, however, from the Davis quintet in the winter of 1956 as a result of his excessive drug and alcohol use--habits which often affected his playing.
		Coltrane believed that by bettering himself and rededicating himself to God, his music would also benefit, for it was the sinful, secular activities and lifestyle that caused his music to suffer and him to be fired from one of the best bands of the day.
		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.

		Coltrane became a member of the M-Base consortium of artists and singed to RCA in 1997 (which lists Coleman on its roster as well).
		Coltrane's tone on tenor (he plays some soprano too) is more reminiscent of Joe Henderson's -- though his father's sound is slightly evident -- and in covering "Inner Urge" on his debut, he made it impossible to deny.
		Coltrane recorded a second album in 2000, From the Round Box, that was received even more warmly than his debut and featured contributions from Alessi again and pianist Geri Allen.

		On this album, Coltrane could not continue his musical adventure with his quartet and, therefore, had created a new quintet with Pharaoh Sanders, Trane's wife Alice on the piano, Rashied Ali on drums and Jimmy Garrison on bass.

		The battle reached a crescendo over the 1965 Down Beat Jazz Festival, a donnybrook in which Coltrane and Shepp blasted the audience in half: half booed and howled in anger and the other half rose to their feet and cheered their approval, a la the Rites of Spring premiere in 1913.
		As far as Coltrane's sax sound...it had become hard as ice, but with a enormous vibrato that gave it a bathetic sheen, eliminating the smears and rawness that had characterized his playing in the previous 3 years.
		Coltrane's playing was intensely melodic and often a solo would consist of cascading and childlike melodies, bounced off of the rolling rhythm section.

	The Art of John Coltrane and Ralph Ellison
		Coltrane and Ellison, to their great credit, use their art to define not only their own identity, but also something which thousands of people can identify with.
		As David Amram, a french horn player and avid Coltrane fan recalls, "One thing I really noticed, though, was that Trane was always playing himself, even in the context of Monk's music."[19] Coltrane was developing his unique sound on the Tenor which was characterized by a harsh, powerful tone.
		One of the most distinguished characteristics of Coltrane's sound was his use of multiphonics, having many different notes come out of his horn at once, which he used to create effects on the saxophone that no one had developed before.

		And Coltrane was doubtless highly influenced by the many non-Western religions being explored by the African-American and artistic communities in the United States from the mid-'50s on.
		Only John Coltrane's and portions of his quartet members' parts are original dating from previously unreleased mid-1960s performances: the bass solos, the harp and organ parts, the percussion parts, and sweeping Stravinsky-like string arrangements were overdubbed in 1972.

	Celebrate African American History Month
		When Coltrane purchased this house in 1952, the neighborhood was in transition as many rural southern African Americans were relocating to northern cities and finding work opportunities in industrial neighborhoods such as this.
		Coltrane moved into the house with his mother, cousin and a friend; three years later they were joined by Coltrane's bride Juanita Austin, known by her nickname Naima.
		Coltrane used this house both as a primary residence and a temporary base during his tours, while his mother and cousin lived here permanently.

	Jazz/Jerry Jazz Musician/John Coltrane biographer John Fraim interview
		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.
		To me, artists are much more interesting when their art is placed within the context of their period of time as well as their overall artistic output.
		Coltrane's music at the time was ever increasing in its complexity.

	JOHN COLTRANE
		Although you won't find my reminiscences in the Coltrane FirstHand section (right time, wrong place), I’ve nonetheless been fortunate enough to have had a number of opportunities to work with his music.
		I compiled and published what became the standard John Coltrane discography in the late seventies (the starting point for the comprehensive 1995 work compiled by Yasuhiro Fujioka) and have written liner notes for a number of Coltrane releases over the past two decades.
		Everything Coltrane recorded for Atlantic was in a box set from Rhino, but sadly that's gone out-of-print, and while there's information at the Rhino site about Coltrane (even Coltrane ringtones for your cel), the box information (which included Lewis Porter's thorough notes) is also gone.

	COLTRANE
		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 '60s were Coltrane's decade, years of mind-boggling evolution and exploration, from the perfection of "A Love Supreme" to the solemn free jazz of "Expression." The saxophonist died of liver cancer July 17, 1967, at age 40.

		Coltrane worked with numerous big bands before emerging in the mid-1950s as a major stylist while playing as a sideman with Miles Davis.
		Originally influenced by Lester Young, Coltrane displayed in his playing a dazzling technical brilliance combined with ardent emotion and eventually a kind of mysticism.
		From the late 1950s until his death he was considered the outstanding tenor and soprano saxophonist of the jazz avant-garde, and his music continues to be a strong source of inspiration to contemporary jazz and pop musicians.

	Searching for John Coltrane- Lewis Porter interview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		So what I think happened to Coltrane on the other hand was that he said, "as long as that bass is walking, that restricts my phrasing." It's like the old thing about the challenge of playing modal versus playing over chord changes.
		I think what Coltrane liked though was that when he did that, what was "solid" about it, if you want to use that word, is that he only would play a few notes.
		Then there's a smaller collection which is about six or seven hours but it includes Coltrane's practice tapes, including about an hour or ninety minutes of him just sitting around and playing the saxophone, which would be wonderful to hear and let's just hope that someday somebody puts that out.
