Acclaimed American saxophonist, bandleader & composer, John Coltrane, became an iconic figure of 20th-century jazz with his historic albums such as ‘Giant Steps,’ ‘My Favorite Things’ and ‘A Love Supreme.’
Born on September 23, 1926, in Hamlet, North Carolina, Coltrane developed his craft as a saxophonist and composer during the 1940s and ’50s, working with famed musicians/bandleaders Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington and Miles Davis.
Coltrane turned the jazz world on its head with technically marvelous, innovative playing that was thrillingly dense and fluid in its understanding of the genre.
