John Coltrane : His Life and Music (The Michigan American Music Series)

Rating:
Summary: The finest work on Coltrane so far
Review: This book has everything; the most thorough life biography, yet, and a musician's analysis of Trane's important works, with loads of playable examples. Occasionally the author toots his horn a bit much, but he knows what he's talking about.

All in all, a fascinating read into Trane's life and music.
