I think it's the latter - Coltrane exhausted jazz. That's my reading, anyway.

- emodendroket 8y agoBut as I said, it isn't true. People kept right on experimenting with different forms. Coltrane was certainly an all-time great but I don't agree that he took experimentation to its limits and was playing noise nobody could possibly enjoy listening to, as the author seems to want me to believe.
- narag 8y agoThe thing with experiments is that sometimes they fail. You can try endless variations but only a few will work. Coltrane and his generation were massively successful. And they innovated over Parker that had in turn innovated over previous generations. I'm no expert and I can understand that evolution and at the same time enjoy all that jazz. I can enjoy later music but there seems to be a somehow unbroken chain.
