John Coltrane was an internationally known jazz musician for a very short period of time, first coming to prominence as part of Miles Davis' "first great quintet" in the fall of 1955. From the 1959 recording of his second solo album, Giant Steps, until his death in the summer of 1967, Coltrane's studio recordings and live performances turned the jazz world on its head. This lecture will explore recordings such as 1963's "Alabama," 1965's "A Love Supreme" and 1967's "Expression," approaching Coltrane's work as evidence of an artist deeply involved in a quest for both spiritual and musical transcendence. Join Rob Bowman, Associate Professor, York University, Department of Music and Grammy-Award-winner (music writing) for this wonderful evening.
