Coltrane

Here's an interesting quote from John Coltrane talking about his playing in 1961:

"Here's how I play. I start from one point and go as far as possible. But, unfortunately, I never lose my way. I say unfortunately, because what would interest me greatly is to discover paths that I'm perhaps not aware of... The harmonies have become for me a kind of obsession, which gives me the feeling of looking at the music from the wrong end of a telescope."
