"John Coltrane once said the main thing a musician would like to do, is to give a picture to the listener of the many wonderful things he knows of and senses in the universe. When Miles Davis asked him why he played so long when soloing, Coltrane answered, It took that long to get it all in.
"It is a tribute to jazz musicians that they sought to get it all in. the music itself, vital, transformative, seductive, subversive and often improvised, provided the record that tied each generation to the next. Out of suffering and hardship, we have heard time and again jazz artists rediscover possibility. Such is the power of imagination."
