🎶 All over the world musicians are celebrating 100 years of saxophonist John Coltrane (often combined with 100 years of Miles Davis). This day we'll celebrate his music and spirit with a sextet performing music from his catalog. Many consider several of his albums some of the best and most influential jazz ever. An impressive feat for any artist but especially considering he died at 40 very rare.
