Before John Coltrane experienced the divine touch of God, he felt the fists of Miles Davis. On his 100th birthday, I wrote about Coltrane's quest to shed his demons, summon the divine through the saxophone, and make "A Love Supreme." powmag.net/p/john-coltrane-1…

100 years ago today, John Coltrane was born. For 20 days, I’ve shared one essential Coltrane recording each day. For the final one, something more personal: a family film edit set to my all-time favorite Coltrane piece: “Equinox”

Today is the 100th anniversary of the birth of John Coltrane. To mark it we have selected a number of essays and reviews from back issues of The Wire going back over 40 years, all attempting to come to an understanding of the meaning and significance of Coltrane’s life and music.

Throwback to Steve Carless, a music executive, revealing Blue Ivy was the reason Beyoncé agreed to record ‘BROWN SKIN GIRL’, the song ended up being nominated and winning at the 2021 GRAMMYs.

The bassist played with Prince. The drummer played with D'Angelo. The guitarist is one of the best young blues players alive. Together they're Atomic Habitz, and here they are covering "Be Thankful for What You Got" at Newport Jazz, 2026.

Was reminded yesterday why I love my job (most of the time) when I had the most fabulous interview with Thandiswa Mazwai about her new album, ‘Sanfoka’. It was entertaining, stimulating, thought-provoking and fun. #interview #journalism @thandiswamazwai @mailandguardian
