Plot

This programme features the great jazz man John Coltrane in nine rare television performances, shot in the late 1950s and the early 1960s.
Coltrane appears in dazzling extended solos showcasing his trademark "sheets of sound" and demonstrates his mastery of tenor, alto and soprano sax and the unique artistry he brought to innovations in jazz and to music as a whole.
This collection has both breadth and depth. Four of these performances are led by Miles Davis, and Miles also works out his huge orchestral ensemble under the direction of Gil Evans.
The rest of the programme is given over to the John Coltrane Quartet. Featuring rare footage and beautiful music from one of the great icons of jazz.
