Description
John Coltrane was one of America's most influential musicians, his impact felt across a wide range of artistic styles. Equinox: The Music of John Coltrane is the first comprehensive guide to all of his recordings written with the non-musician in mind. While significant life developments are addressed, the primary focus of this book is the content and evolution of the music that Coltrane committed to tape for posterity. Equinox offers a chronological, album-by-album listener's guide to all of Coltrane's recordings, from the earliest days of his career through the several posthumously released albums. Organized into chapters based upon different phases of that career, the book covers the years from the 1940s until today, including the archival recordings that continue to be brought to light. Each recording is addressed on a track-by-track basis, with comparisons over time of the compositions that he recorded repeatedly. The result is an insightful and instructive portrait of Coltrane's evolution as both performer and composer.
