""Innovative, influential and strongly revered, John Coltrane was the most revolutionary and widely imitated saxophonist in jazz.

The film includes extensive performance footage and culminates in a fascinating musical meeting between the Art Ensemble of Chicago saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell and dervish musicians in Morocco's Sahara desert in 1990."--Conteneur."
