Coltrane: The Story of a Sound Paperback - 2008
by Ben Ratliff
In this major work about the great saxophonist--and about the state of jazz--Ratliff looks for the sources of power in John Coltrane's music, not just in matters of technique, composition, and musical concepts, but in the deeper frequencies of the musician's sound.
