    Definitive Coltrane
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2009*

This superb book which weighs in at about 4 1/2 pounds is the culmination of tremendous scholarly research by the editor and contributors. Coltrane was born in 1926.  This exhaustive reference covers highlights of his life from 1938 thru 1944. Then a timeline which briefly summarizes key events followed by a more detailed chronology of that year. These details are in yearly chapters from 1945-1967 (the year of his death). There are many anecdotes as well as published reviews by critics and columnists. A number of musician former collegues were interviewed to provide further information. Following that is a complete discography (as of the publication date which was 2008). That also follows the yearly format covering the periods from 1946-67. A lot of album covers are reproduced. It is amazing how many different reissues and repackagings have been made from these record dates. Also, many quite obscure releases are covered as well as private practice,radio broadcasts,club dates and concert performances that were recorded. Tremendous effort by the authors. With much original research.

    The motherlode of all Coltrane discographies
  

*by A***  on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2008*

There are a handful of Coltrane scholars around the planet who are recognized as the authorities on John Coltrane. Lewis Porter (who is one of them), well-known jazz scholar and jazz artist, gathered most of the true heavyweights together for this definitive guide to Coltrane's life and work.This book encompasses, updates, expands upon and supersedes Fujioka's "John Coltrane: A Discography And Musical Biography".If you are simply looking for a biography of Coltrane, I would recommend Porter's "John Coltrane: His Life And Music" [U of Michigan Press].If, on the other hand, you want every bit of information there is about every recording ever made by Coltrane, including concert recordings that circulate among music traders, this is the book of your dreams. Until (and if) this book is ever updated, it is the definitive guide to Coltrane's work. Nothing else, save the Fujioka, even comes close.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    this book is as advertised.
  

*by J***W on Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2018*

A chronology, gig by gig, session by session, of John Coltrane. If that description is attractive this is a very well put together book, an invaluable historical reference for arguably one of the jazz ages' most important musicians.
