The Problem With John Coltrane ~~ Part 2: Technique « Savage Music

I appreciate the blogger's comments but he fails, IMO, to realize that Coltrane was a saint and prophet (arguably) and a genius (undeniably). Take as an excellent example the post-avant garde Coltrane, some of it released posthumously. It may always be unknowable to me, echoing honks and apparent noise, but once the leap of faith is made that his insights are deeper than mine, I know the least I must do is persevere to see the meaning.
