History of Jazz Time Line: John Coltrane 1967
- At this point, it seems as if the future of Jazz belongs to Coltrane, Coleman and Free Jazz, but Fusion Jazz is on the horizon and... Coltrane dies!
- In the final stages of developing liver cancer, Coltrane records three discs which see public release. His other recorded material from 1967 remains in the private collection of Alice Coltrane.
- Coltrane records Interstellar Space, a series of duets with drummer Rashied Ali, in February. This fiery free set, among the most outspokenly abstract of any of his work, remains unreleased until 1974.
- In February and March, Coltrane and his group records Expression and Stellar Regions. The latter recording, stored in Alice Coltrane's archives, remains unavailable to listeners until 1995. Both appear on Impulse! records.
- On Expression, Coltrane offers his first serious flute playing on record, a lengthy duet with Pharoah Sanders.
- Coltrane dies of end-stage liver cancer on July 17, 1967--at the age of 40. His followers mourn the loss. Eventually a church will be set up in San Francisco in his name. John's fans are very passionate.
