John Coltrane was born in Hamlet, North Carolina on September 23, 1926. Coltrane grew up in High Point NC, moving to Philadelphia PA in June 1943. He was inducted into the Navy in 1945, returning to civilian life in 1946. Contemporary correspondence shows that Coltrane was already known as “Trane” by this point, and that the music from the 1946 sessions had been played for Miles Davis — possibly impressing him.

Although there are recordings of Coltrane from as early as 1946, his peers at the time didn’t recognize ‘genius’ in the young musician, though he was a member of groups led by Dizzy Gillespie and Johnny Hodges in the early to mid-1950s. His main career spans the twelve years between 1955 and 1967, during which time he reshaped modern jazz and influenced generations of other musicians.
