The World According to John Coltrane is a one-hour documentary, featuring lots of music footage and interviews with prominent jazz musicians such as Wayne Shorter, Tommy Flanagan and many others. It's an excellent primer on the enormously influential saxophonist's life and music.
Goddamnit, flapjax. You're a mensch.

In case anyone else was wondering, Well You Needn't starts at about 8:40 in the Monk doc.

I still have a VHS copy of this Coltrane doc. The blistering footage of "My Favorite Things" ranks among my all-time favorite Trane moments. Great stuff.

Thanks, flapjax. For all of these.
Five years ago I had to have some surgery I dreaded and, indeed, there were complications. It's fine now but to even make myself be willing to go, I played lots of Coltrane, especially in the late night hours it was "Dear Lord" over and over. Whenever I hear it now, I can instantly be still and center myself. If I lived in SF I would surely visit the Church of St. John Coltrane.
