New John Coltrane documentary planned. The film wil be ready by the end of 2015 for an unveiling on the film-festival circuit in 2016, after which they will sell to a theatrical distributor. He was an artist whose work resonated with fans from all walks of life -- the architect Frank Gehry, Clint Eastwood, Bono, Philip Glass, Alicia Keys, Bill Clinton -- and that fascinated me: What is it about this music that touches people so deeply? says Scheinfeld, whose goal is to humanize instead of glorify Coltrane. Most of the books attempt to analyze his music, Scheinfeld added. Well make the film different by showing the impact the music made. Hes like the Beatles in that he never repeated himself; he found what worked and moved on. He had a restless creativity, and that, to me, is quite admirable.
