What would happen if there was no Coltrane?

I think electronic music would look a lot different. Butterfly effect and all that. No Squarepusher, perhaps.

I think without latter-era Coltrane, alot of the experimentation in rock and folk and jazz might not've happened. Of course Coltrane was an example of scenius as much as genius so maybe nearly everything would be the same.

Dunno innit.

Haoopy day! Blast some Coltrane I recorded off the radio on a boom-box I dropped in my bath tub.

Happy Birthday Coltrane. You took the sax and made it what it is today. As a big jazz fan (mostly bebop) I can't be more appreciative. I'm gona spin some Coltrane tonight~!

ah John, what a legend

Crescent is my favorite album by him, but this one

The only jazz musician I know with a Church named after him...and it's actually quite neat and sincere imo:
