The BBCs Jazz Book of the Year for 2008.Few jazz musicians have had the lasting influence or attracted as much scholarly study as John Coltrane. Yet; despite dozens of books; hundreds of articles; and his own recorded legacy; the "facts" about Coltranes life and work have never been definitely established. Well-known Coltrane biographer and jazz educator Lewis Porter has assembled an international team of scholars to write The John Coltrane Reference; an indispensable guide to the life and music of John Coltrane.The John Coltrane Reference features a a day-by-day chronology; which extends from 1926-1967; detailing Coltranes early years and every live performance given by Coltrane as either a sideman or leader; and a discography offering full session information from the first year of recordings; 1946; to the last; 1967. The appendices list every film and television appearance; as well as every recorded interview. Richly illustrated with over 250 album covers and photos from the collection of Yasuhiro Fujioka; The John Coltrane Reference will find a place in every major library supporting a jazz studies program; as well as John Coltrane enthusiasts.

I am a beginner and I was able to play more than half these songs the first day I downloaded the book. The tabs make it even easier. I have both the print and the kindle version of this book.Here is a hint if you have trouble with the last song on the kindle version. The publisher asks for a review of the book in the noodle of the last song. Thats quite annoying when you are happily strumming away and cant get to the last two pages. I talked to and they said if you review the book or turn off WiFi; the pop-up hours away. I opted to review the book; so now you know.Happy strumming.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
