The John Coltrane reference

by Chris DeVito

"The John Coltrane Reference features a day-by-day chronology, from 1926 to 1967, that details Coltrane's early years and every life performance he gave either as a sideman or leader. The discography offers full session information from the first year of recordings, 1946, to the last, 1967. The appendices list every film and television appearance, as well as every recorded interview. Illustrated with more that 350 album covers and photos, and many pages of never-reprinted newspaper reviews and interviews, this reference work is a guide to the life and music of John Coltrane."--Jacket.
