Description: "In this Penetrating Account of John Coltrane's role in spearheading the last major innovations in jazz, Frank Kofsky brings out how the 1960s jazz revolution reflected an intense cultural and political ferment - marked especially by the rise of resistance to racial discrimination." "This volume - an expanded, revised edition of Kofsky's Black Nationalism and the Revolution in Music - contains the best-known interview with John Coltrane, recorded in 1966, a year before his death. It also presents interviews with drummer Elvin Jones and pianist McCoy Tyner, and includes a discussion on how the interplay between Coltrane and his accompanists culminated in a series of artistic breakthroughs."--BOOK JACKET.
