Chasing Trane

Set against the social, political and cultural landscape of the times, Chasing Trane, a film by John Scheinfeld, brings saxophone great John Coltrane to life, as a man and an artist. The film is the definitive look at the boundary-shattering musician whose influence continues to this day. Stay after the film for a discussion with Madison area saxophone greats Hanah Jon Taylor, Performer and Owner of Cafe Coda, and Les Thimmig, Performer and Professor of Saxophone at UW-Madison; jazz expert Steve Braunginn, co-host of Strictly Jazz Sounds on WORT; and Professor Emeritus from the UW-Madison School of Music, world-renowned jazz pianist, and recording artist Joan Wildman.
