Oh, well spotted, Fred! I know I used the title from a Sonny Rollins album but Coltrane is the one for me! Thanks for the compliment. I do love my jazz and I've been lucky enough to see and meet many of my heroes - not Coltrane, though, unfortunately!

Pastel portrait on black paper, using a red/green complementary scheme, of one of my favourite musicians in full flight. The complementary colours are meant to reflect the nature of the music - a bit challenging but, ultimately, it works!
