Named one of the best jazz books of 2010 by Jazz Times 's reader
poll John Coltrane created a new sound, a music that had nothing to
do with anyone except himself. The path he chose was difficult and
risky. Nevertheless, he persisted, and his recordings now stand
among the greatest of all jazz achievements. And his life,
thoughts, and words have been just as inspiring as his music. This
book collects those words for the first time. Coltrane was a
gracious and conscientious interviewee. His responses were
thoughtful and measured; he rarely said anything negative about
others (though he could be highly self-critical). He freely gave
credit to those who influenced and inspired him. Interviewer after
interviewer noted how different Coltrane seemed from his
music--this quiet man whose music was so volcanic. Coltrane on
Coltrane includes every known Coltrane interview, many in new
transcriptions, and several previously unpublished; articles,
reminiscences, and liner notes that rely on interviews; and some of
Coltrane's personal writings and correspondence. John Coltrane
never wrote an autobiography. This book is as close to one as
possible.
