ABOUT JOHN COLTRANE
As explored in the new GRAMMY Museum exhibit and in Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary, by 1960, Coltrane had formed his own quartet, which included pianist McCoy Tyner, drummer Elvin Jones, and bassist Jimmy Garrison, eventually adding players such as Eric Dolphy and Pharoah Sanders. The John Coltrane Quartet created some of the most innovative and expressive music in history, including the hit albums My Favorite Things, Africa Brass, Impressions, Giant Steps, and his monumental work, A Love Supreme, which attests to the power, glory, love, and greatness of God. Coltrane felt we must all make a conscious effort to effect positive change in the world, and that his music was an instrument to create positive thought patterns in the minds of people.
