I am right now listening to ‘You don’t know what love is’ from ‘Ballads’ – and this music really touches the Heavens.

Coltrane was very aware that he touched the hearts of people very profoundly and spiritually. It was in fact his stated objective, to uplift people through his music.

I can only think of one other deity of Jazz, with that musical impact, despite his very different lifestyle – Charlie Parker.
