Coltrane Quotes

Coltrane came to New Orleans one day and he was talking about the jazz scene. And Coltrane mentions that the problem with jazz was that there were too few groups. Branford Marsalis
Colin Greenwood quote: "Coltrane would do what you'd get a Roland Pro Tools module to..."
Coltrane would do what you'd get a Roland Pro Tools module to do but with a group of jazz musicians. Colin Greenwood
Jan Garbarek quote: "Coltrane was moving out of jazz into something else. And..."
Coltrane was moving out of jazz into something else. And certainly Miles Davis was doing the same thing. Jan Garbarek
Somewhere along the line Coltrane's soprano sax runs out of steam. Now it's McCoy Tyner's piano solo I hear, the left hand carving out a repetitious rhythm and the right layering on thick, forbidding chords. Like some mythic scene, the music portrays somebody's - a nameless, faceless somebody's - dim past, all the details laid out as clearly as entrails being dragged out of the darkness. Or at least that's how it sounds to me. The patient, repeating music ever so slowly breaks apart the real,... Haruki Murakami
A teenage girl creaming while she listens to some boy-band, a monk digging on the God he hears in Gregorian chants, or John fucking Coltrane himself climbing up into the sky on a staircase made of sixteenth notes, it's all the same. If it takes you there, it's good. Tad Williams
I am the flying saucer man from another world trapped on yours until they come to rescue me. One day the saucer will land. Jimi Hendrix and John Coltrane will open the hatch and tell me to get in before someone tries to blow up the ship. I'll just ask what took them so long. Within seconds we'll be out of here. Henry Rollins
Isaac Mizrahi quote: "If you try to have a fashion show with Bach fugues and John..."
If you try to have a fashion show with Bach fugues and John Coltrane, it doesn't really work. Isaac Mizrahi
Colin Greenwood quote: "Motion Picture Soundtrack on Kid A was another Coltrane..."
Motion Picture Soundtrack on Kid A was another Coltrane inspiration. Colin Greenwood
Well, Grover Washington was my main influence and when I went to college, I started listening to more of the jazz masters like Sonny Rollins, Cannonball Adderley, and John Coltrane. Kenny G
When Coltrane died, a void appeared in this music that has not been filled yet. He maintained a forward motion in his work and did not look back. Bill Dixon
Tom Verlaine quote: "When somebody turned me on to a Coltrane record around seventh..."
When somebody turned me on to a Coltrane record around seventh grade, I took up saxophone. Tom Verlaine
John Coltrane - I've been listening to the 'Trane again. It blows you away, because I know more now and I hear more now and I had a life that I've lived! Alan Vega
Wynton Marsalis quote: "I wanted to make somebody feel like Coltrane made me feel,..."
I wanted to make somebody feel like Coltrane made me feel, listening to it. Wynton Marsalis
In America, for a brief time, people who followed Coltrane were studied and considered important, but it didn't last long. The result is that the kind of music I played in the '60's is completely dismissed in this country as a wrong turn, a suicidal effort. Archie Shepp
Lately, I've been listening to some jazz albums. I love the new Pat Metheny album. John Coltrane. I still like good metal, though! Geezer Butler
