John Coltrane
Jazz is my favourite music, and the musician I love chiefly is John Coltrane. Quoting the biography of J. Coltrane, written by J.C. Thomas: "Always elusive, constantly moving, incessantly changing, John Coltrane stood astride the jazz world of the late 50's and 60's. He was a giant of the saxophone and a major composer. His music influenced both rock stars and classical musicians. There was a mystical quality, a profound melancholy emanating from this quiet, self contained man that moved listeners." ('Chasin' The Train', by J.C. Thomas - DA CAPO PRESS- N.Y. ). John Coltrane, thirty years after the death, is perhaps the gratest jazz composer and saxophone player, yet. We are waiting a new one on the scene but, up to now, no one has been as great and so modern as he was.
