JAZZ PIONEER is the theme of this sculpture.

"I'd like to point out to people the divine in a musical language that transcends words. I want to speak to their souls."

American jazz saxophonist and composer.
Working in the bebop and hard bop idioms early in his career, Coltrane helped pioneer the use of modes in jazz and later was at the forefront of free jazz.
