** A ''lot'' of his later free jazz material can probably qualify as this, particularly for neophytes. ''The Olatunji Concert'', the final recorded performance of his life, is perhaps the most terrifying of these. (He performed once more after this, but no known recordings of the performance exist.)

* BrokenBase: Coltrane fans are split on when his best work was, due to how often he changed styles. Was it his work in the 50s when he developed the unique "Sheets of Sound" style of soloing? Was it in the early sixties when he was writing pieces that changed keys every few seconds? Was it the classic quartet period of 1962-1965, when he released Music/ALoveSupreme? Was it his free jazz period, where he went into unexplored territory night after night?

* CreatorWorship: Despite being polarising during his lifetime, he has become a ''literal'' case in some circles, which literally consider him a saint. More mundanely, as mentioned on the main page, his influence affected almost everyone who picked up a saxophone for several decades - among his contemporaries, arguably only fellow Miles alumnus Wayne Shorter (Music/WeatherReport, etc.) has had any comparable degree of influence.

* BaseBreaker: In the 1960's, Coltrane was this for jazz fans in general; his music was extremely divisive, and got more so as the decade went on; how you felt about Coltrane pretty much defined whether you were or weren't interested in modern jazz. When Coltrane died, the respected English poet and jazz critic Philip Larkin wrote in his newspaper column "I mourn his death, as I mourn any man's; but I can't conceal that it leaves in jazz a vast, blessed silence."
