"John Coltrane is an important historical feature in World, US and Philadelphia history, because of his musical contributions. He brought his own, original techniques and compositional concepts to the creative table, which still impact artists today. This would include his studies, practice and application of multi-phonics/harmonics (Playing chords on the saxophone)." - - - Alfie Pollitt...
