History of Jazz Time Line: John Coltrane 1964


  • In October, a series of concerts, called the October Revolution, are held in the Cellar Cafe in New York. Leaders of this Free Jazz revolution include Coltrane, Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor.

  • Coltrane records A Love Supreme with his working quartet of McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones. His liner notes offer the dedication "THANK YOU GOD." ALS will become Coltrane's best-selling record ever, reaching certified gold status (500,000 copies sold) in early 2001. Partially contributed by Blaine Fallis, Jazz Editor About.com.

  • John Coltrane records Crescent for the MCA label.
