John Coltrane (1926-1967) is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in 20th-century music and a central architect of modern jazz. After early work in rhythm & blues bands, he gained international recognition in the 1950s as a member of the Miles Davis Quintet, contributing to era-defining sessions that changed the sound of jazz. Coltrane later led his own groundbreaking groups, pushing the boundaries of harmony, rhythm and spiritual expression. With landmark albums such as "Giant Steps," "My Favorite Things" and "A Love Supreme," he influenced generations of musicians and helped shape the language of jazz improvisation worldwide. His relentless search for new forms and his spiritual intensity continue to inspire listeners and artists far beyond the jazz scene.
