About the Author:

Review:

Coltrane on Coltrane is a winning idea made accessibly real, revealing the gentle, thoughtful, deeply modest man behind the jazz genius and tenor titan.” Ashley Kahn, author of A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane’s Signature Album

This is not just another volume about this creative genius. All of Coltrane’s published interviews are here, but DeVito reveals his own creativity by transcribing audio interviews and locating letters, newspaper articles, and other rarities to complete this picture of the man. The result is an essential item for your bookshelf.” Lewis Porter, jazz pianist, educator, and author of John Coltrane: His Life and Music

"This eye-opening book .  . . offers one of the most complete pictures of [Coltrane's] jazz-defining body of recordings and all too short life."  ArtVoice
