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-…

"After the death of her husband, .... She suffered from severe weight loss and sleepless nights, as well as hallucinations. This tapas led her to seek spiritual guidance from the guru Swami Satchidananda and later from Sathya Sai Baba."
