John Coltrane and the Jazz Revolution

This volume--an expanded, revised edition of Kofsky's Black Nationalism and the Revolution in Music--contains the best-known interview with John Coltrane, recorded in 1966, a year before his death. It also has interviews with drummer Elvin Jones and pianist McCoy Tyner, and includes a discussion on how the interplay between Coltrane and his accompanists culminated in a series of artistic breakthroughs.
