Description
This is the original John Coltrane promotional LP of "Impressions" on Impulse Records (Mono A-42). Promotional white label release. These records and posters come from a Texas music manager of many years who has decided to sell his vast and varied vinyl and poster collection. A once in a lifetime chance. John William Coltrane, also known as "Trane" (September 23, 1926 – July 17, 1967),[1] was an American jazzsaxophonist and composer. Working in the bebop and hard bop idioms early in his career, Coltrane helped pioneer the use of modes in jazz and was later at the forefront of free jazz. He led at least fifty recording sessions during his career, and appeared as a sideman on many albums by other musicians, including trumpeter Miles Davis and pianistThelonious Monk. As his career progressed, Coltrane and his music took on an increasingly spiritual dimension. Coltrane influenced innumerable musicians, and remains one of the most significant saxophonists in music history. He received many posthumous awards and recognitions, including canonization by the African Orthodox Church as Saint John William Coltrane and a special Pulitzer Prize in 2007.[2] His second wife was pianist Alice Coltrane and their son Ravi Coltraneis also a saxophonist.
