Summary:Coltrane's improvisational techniques required stretching, blending, and transforming traditional notions of jazz in innovative ways. The lives of profeminist Black men require stretching, blending, and transforming traditional notions of manhood in innovative ways as well. The pressures and criticisms that Coltrane endured are similar to the pressures and criticisms that profeminist Black men endure. However, like Coltrane, profeminist men manage to keep moving forward with the belief that something greater lies ahead.
