"My music is the spiritual expression of what I am — my faith, my knowledge, my being."

John Coltrane’s saxophone spoke to generations. He didn’t just make jazz timeless; he snatched the notes that’d been swirling in the air forever, made them audible for the American spirit to catch its first glimpse of itself.

The year was 1957. That’s when John Coltrane was doing his residency at the famed Five Spot at Cooper Square with the Thelonious Monk Quartet, harnessing a style that would become his signature. In September of that year, as he recorded his Blue Train at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Hackensack, New Jersey, the roots of his genius were clear. John Coltrane wasn’t merely a god-like jazzman. He was an everlasting movement.
