Soultrane

Soultrane is a nickname most famously associated with jazz saxophonist John Coltrane. The name reflects the deeply emotive and spiritual quality of his playing, particularly during the late 1950s, a period characterized by his hard bop and early modal jazz explorations. It's not a composition title or a formal concept within music theory, but rather a term of endearment and descriptive shorthand used by fans and critics to encapsulate a specific era and feeling evoked by Coltrane's music. The "Soultrane" moniker suggests a deep, soulful expression intertwined with the advanced harmonic and melodic ideas he was developing during this time.
