Author Cole explores the important link between Coltrane’s music and his deeply religious nature which was rooted in African tradition. The author’s personal acquaintance with Coltrane and his inclusion of direct quotes give weight to this analysis of the saxophonist’s musical career. There are two dozen photographs, and the discography includes recording data and personnel.
For jazz standards fans, John Coltrane provides some in-depth discussions of the saxophonist’s music. Coltrane’s contributions to the jazz standards repertoire include, “Moment’s Notice,” “Naima,” “Giant Steps,” “Impressions,” and “Equinox.”
Bill Cole is professor emeritus of music at Dartmouth College, and the author of Miles Davis: The Early Years.
