John Coltrane était un saxophoniste et compositeur de jazz américain dont la musique a de plus en plus embrassé une dimension spirituelle. Sa conception de l'expression jazzistique est devenue de plus en plus mystique, gnostique et cathartique tout au long de sa carrière. Cette profondeur spirituelle a considérablement marqué son héritage durable dans le jazz.
