COLTRANE PELO PRÓPRIO
A descoberta do fim de semana foi um texto de Coltrane a falar de si próprio, originalmente publicado na «Down Beat» de 29 de Setembro de 1960. Não resisto a um excerto: As far as musical influences, aside from saxophonists, are concerned, I think I was first awakened to musical exploration by Dizzy Gillespie and Bird. It was through their work that I began to learn about musical structures and the more theoretical aspects of music. O texto integral pode ser lido aqui.
