Coltrane first came to prominence as a sideman with Miles Davis, and would later lead his own Jazz group in 1960 which released several acclaimed albums. He simultaneously became one of the genre’s most important and controversial stars. Coltrane’s work always pushed the envelope veering into Free Jazz and Avant-Garde Jazz. His music was not always understood but as the years passed the appreciation of his music grew. We aren’t sure if another Jazz great will make the Rock and Roll Hall, but we are sure that if one does we believe it should be John Coltrane.
