John Coltrane

American jazz saxophonist (1926-1967) of the twentieth century. Although his life was not, let's say, a path of roses, given that he was watered by problems with drugs, from which a certain vital instability in all senses derived, his image today is that of an important figure within the music of the genre that he worked (jazz) through his instrument catalyst of it, the saxophone.

In this way, a series of very special recordings come to our time that are characterized by a successful way of releasing the saxophone as an instrument and therefore also jazz music and music as a whole, without falling into blurs that could have diluted his good job. That is to say, he is the coiner of a series of solos with the saxophone that, played over classic patterns, film music or jazz songs, suppose a journey towards good music, an agitated rise and fall of scales that give his work a very special flavor, wild, beautiful, fresh, and very musical within the freedom with which he played this instrument.

He was a contributor to Thelonious Monk and Miles Davis, among others. After his death, the record companies were responsible for collecting various phonograms and ordering them so that we currently have a good number of them that allow us to enjoy the essence of the music of this great jazz saxophonist.
