Saxophonist, band leader and musician. In the 1950s, he played tenor and soprano sax with Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. In the 1960s he led his own groups and forever changed jazz with his brilliant experimentation and improvisation. His later recordings reflected his belief that music was a form of spiritual expression. His recordings include Giant Steps, My Favorite Things and A Love Supreme. He died of liver cancer at the age of 41 in 1967. Handwritten incomplete arrangements on staved manuscript folio, 9.5 x 12.25, with an incomplete score written in pencil on the front. The word “alto” is also written in pencil at the top of the sheet, as well as “Composed by Elmo Hope.” The arrangement was originally consigned by the Coltrane Family to Guernsey’s Auction (and, as such, bears a 2005 Jowcol Music copyright stamp). In very good condition, with scattered small areas of discoloration and toning, creasing at the edges and corners, mild edge wear and a small tear to left edge. COA Roger Epperson/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
