John William Coltrane (1926 - 1967) was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. He played with a number of jazz artists including Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. Although there are recordings of Coltrane from as early as 1946, his peers at the time didn't recognize 'genius' in the young musician. His real career spans the twelve years between 1955 and 1967, during which time he reshaped modern jazz and influenced generations of other musicians.
