John Coltrane: A Newbies Guide
by Tim Price
When John Coltrane died in 1967, he left behind a huge legacy of recorded music. Making sense of it all is an enormous task. Check out our suggestions for six views of Trane's last ten years.

John Coltrane: Traneing In
by Florence Wetzel
In August 1957, John Coltrane was at a very interesting point in his career. His apprentice years in big bands long past, he had recently left the seminal Miles Davis quintet and was in the midst of a six-month run with Monk at the Five Spot. At the height of this fertile period, with so much ...
Tommy Flanagan/John Coltrane/Kenny Burrell: The Cats
by David Rickert
The Cats are John Coltrane, Kenny Burrell, Tommy Flanagan, and Idrees Sulieman, heavyweights that clearly mark this as a Prestige All-Stars blowing session. However, this 1957 recording is actually a showcase for Flanagan, a rising star in his first major role. None of the tunes are all that challenging, following basic blues formulas that befit the ...
Circling Om: An Exploration of John Coltrane's Later Works
by Simon Weil
Prologue Elvin Jones left John Coltrane's group in January 1966. A couple of months afterwards he declared: “At times I couldn't hear what I was doing--matter of fact, I couldn't hear what anybody was doing. All I could hear was a lot of noise."1 But, shortly after Coltrane's death in July 1967, Jones ...
John Coltrane: The Olatunji Concert: The Last Live Recording
by Colin Fleming
Composed almost entirely of violently shifting textures and a commitment to dissonance that all but blasphemes melody and musical forms, this document of John Coltrane's last recorded concert from April '67 is decidedly horrific, threatening, and appropriately staggering. Having forsaken his famous “sheets of sound" for a new, overly propulsive medium in the mid-sixties, Coltrane's last ...
G.Org: A New Kind of Blue
by John Kelman
Paying homage can be risky business, especially when the source is as seminal as Miles Davis' classic Kind of Blue. Comparisons are not just begged, they're expected. And how can anyone hope to capture the same magic? Or the confluence of events that put Davis, Julian “Cannonball" Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers ...
Bootsie Barnes: Bootsie Barnes: Boppin' Round the Center
by Victor L. Schermer
This CD featuring Bootsie Barnes and a group assembled for the occasion has one characteristic uncommon in an era of so-called 'smooth jazz,' rap singing, and canned music for every occasion from cinematically simulated inner city rumbles to drugs for erectile dysfunction. It really swings! It also 'bops around the center!' (I truly don't know what ...
John Coltrane: Jazz Revolutionary
by Bob Jacobson
Jazz Revolutionary Rachel Stiffler Barron Morgan Reynolds ISBN 1883846579 Barron has packed an amazing amount of information into this small, 112 page book for “young adults" (middle and high schoolers), part of Morgan Reynolds' Masters of Music series. One of the author's chief virtues is that she does not talk ...
