I N T R . O I D U C T T O N

It was my great privilege to see John Coltrane play with his

quartet several times in my life. These experiences changed

my life; for to be in the presence of such a creative force one

does not remain the same. At that time I did not understand

his music but r intuitively felt "hereis a musician of great

importance." I can't claim to understand hi s music fully

today, but the more I listen to it , and as the years have gone

by, I can at least grasp part of it . This is enough to inspire me

to try harder in my quest and to venture into areas that are new

and fresh. I consider John coltrane to be the most important

creative jazz musician of this century. I humbly dedicate this

book to his memory.
