Jazz saxophonist, bandleader, and composer John Coltrane emerged in the late 1950s as a leading innovator in jazz music, recording both with his own groups and as a soloist with trumpet player Miles Davis. Performing on tenor saxophone, and later on soprano saxophone, Coltrane infused his improvisations with new harmonic relationships and imaginative timbres (tone colors) and gained recognition for his technical genius. Widely imitated and admired, he helped to revolutionize the role of the saxophone in jazz. Coltrane improvises in this 1958 recording of his composition “Trane’s Slo Blues.”
