Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...

John Coltrane, 1926-1967

Today is the 93rd anniversary of the birth of John Coltrane. We are going to show you a film about Coltrane’s life and work. The name of the documentary is Saint John Coltrane. Some have found the title presumptuous, even blasphemous. Still, the film was made to tell the story of the great tenor saxophonist, one of the most influential musicians in jazz history. The Rifftides staff believes that its producer and writers created an informative and valuable documentary. As you will see when it’s over, we would like to know your opinion of the film.
