Coltrane Muses


Where were Trane's ideas coming from and how Trane developed them ?
So nice to understand with the following examples what music Coltrane was listening to,  made an impression on him and how he put that inspiration on his own work.
Copy? plagiarism? far beyond that .
The appropriation of the music of his time and the reconstruction of a musical universe, of which "My favorite things" is the ultimate example...
Listen to the videos by the suggested order

Two compositions : "Impressions" was inspired by Morton Gould "pavanne" and "Big Nick" (dedicated to Big Nick Nicholas) (very much) influenced by Poulenc's "Impromptu"
