This smart, passionate, thought-provoking and uplifting documentary, written and directed by documentary filmmaker John Scheinfeld, is for anyone who appreciates the power of music to entertain, inspire and transform. Set against the social, political and cultural landscape of the times, Chasing Trane brings John Coltrane to life as a fully dimensional being, inviting the audience to engage with Coltrane the man, Coltrane the artist.
