Today, John Coltrane, probably the most influential tenor sax player in history, would have been 94.

I first heard about Coltrane in high school when I went to a summer music camp at @BYU. Ray Smith mentioned Bird (who I'd probably heard of) and Trane. npr.org/2020/09/23/915… 1/
I remember walking to the lockers to put my horn away repeating "Coltrane, Coltrane, Coltrane" so that I wouldn't forget his name. During high school I bought Giant Steps, Blue Train, and a 3-CD Impulse! best-of Coltrane release.

I also had a bunch of Miles with Trane on tenor 2
Trane is best known for his sheets-of-sound approach, where he would apparently play basically every note, if not simultaneously (it is a sax, of course), in very short succession. 3/ news.allaboutjazz.com/john-coltrane-…
