Leonard Brown
“Coltrane’s life and music have served as a rock for me in my career as a musician, scholar, educator — and in my personal life as a husband and father. There is a brilliant honesty and integrity in Coltrane’s sound. Trane’s sound is full of inspiration, dedication, and clarity. His attitude values continued diligent pursuance of knowledge that can be used for the good of all humanity.” - Leonard Brown
