From the back cover: “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 book is a revised and expanded edition of Kofsky’s book "Black Nationalism and the Revolution in Music," and contains the best-known intervew with John Coltrane, from 1966, a year before his death. Also presents interviews with Elvin Jones and McCoy Tyner. A groundbreaking study of the intersection of black nationalism and Coltrane’s innovative breakthroughs in jazz. 16 pages of black and white photos included. An impressive study for the jazz enthusiast and a beautiful copy.
