John Coltrane
John William Coltrane
Saxofonista soprano, tenor y compositor estadounidense
John Coltrane nació el 23 de septiembre de 1926 en Hamlet, Carolina del Norte (Estados Unidos).
Durante la década de 1950 actuó con grupos liderados por los trompetistas Dizzy Gillespie y Miles Davis, así como por el pianista Thelonious Monk.
Sus experimentos con estructuras armónicas cada vez más complejas le otorgaron un lugar preferente dentro de la vanguardia jazzística. De sus composiciones destacan 'Giant Steps', 'Blue Train', 'A Love Supreme' y 'Father, Son and Holy Ghost'.
En 1992, la National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences le otorgó, a título póstumo, un Grammy por sus éxitos en el mundo de la música.
John Coltrane murió de un fallo hepático el 17 de julio de 1967 en el Huntington Hospital en Long Island, Nueva York.
