From the supplier: East St. Louis Poet Laureate Eugene Redmond described jazz tenor saxophonist John Coltrane as a vast source of inspiration for black poets of the 1960s and 1970s. Music critic Sascha Feinstein wrote that more poets have been influenced by Coltrane's music than any other jazz musician. He rivals fellow musician Charlie Parker as a charismatic figure and both men had similarities in their lives. Parker died at the age of 34 while Coltrane was 40 years when he passed away due to liver cancer.
