John Sinclair pays poetic tribute to jazz musician John Coltrane in a collection of Sinclair’s poems along with jazz album reviews and concert reviews from the 60s as well as edited and refined earlier works spanning decades of Sinclair meditating and reflecting on the influence of Coltrane and his music. As stated in the afterword by poet Dennis Formento, this collection reveals Sinclair to be in the lineage of the great Beat poets who were moved by the culture and the influence of Jazz in the 60s.

He has spent the last decades touring with his Blues Scholars around the world and continuing to publish verses steeped in music history and cultural revolution.
