John Coltrane fue un saxofonista y compositor de jazz estadounidense cuya música abrazó cada vez más una dimensión espiritual. Su concepción de la expresión en el jazz se volvió más mística, gnóstica y catártica a lo largo de su carrera. Esta profundidad espiritual marcó significativamente su legado duradero en el jazz.
