In his early 30’s and clean off dope, Coltrane was honing his already prodigious skills and focusing on his sound and improvisation like never before. Thelonious Monk, with whom Coltrane studied and performed just the year before, also exerted a big influence on the saxophonist’s growing conception of musical possibilities. ..."
