John Coltrane is to the saxophone what Jimi Hendrix is to the guitar. In other words, they could play their respective instruments in a way that no one else could. They also were groundbreaking visionaries in their respective genres. I was working for a painter during the summer after I graduated high school. He listened to a lot of jazz. Most of it was jazz fusion from the likes of David Sanborn, Earl Klugh, Grover Washington Jr., The Crusaders and Weather Report. All of it was really good jazz, and I liked it. My two favorite cassette tapes that he would play were Miles Davisâ âKind Of Blueâ and âBlue Trainâ by Coltrane. Ironically, both of them had blue in the title.
