John Coltrane

A character-driven drama seething with underworld decadence, Montana is set in the final days of an unraveling crime organization. The Boss (Robbie Coltrane) is losing control over his underlings, while Claire (Kyra Sedgwick), his best lieutenant and most loyal operative, is determined to put him back in the driver's seat. But Claire is left out in the cold when she and her partner, Nick (Stanley Tucci), are set up by Duncan (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the Boss's financial genius, for a murder they didn't commit. On the run and stuck with Kitty (Robin Tunney), the Boss's cocaine-sniffing mistress, Claire seeks refuge with one of the Boss's shady business associates (John Ritter). But when he turns out to be foe rather than friend, Claire finds herself heading for a final violent confrontation.

Jazz: Season 1: Episode 9 -- For jazz, the late 1950s is a period of transition when old stars like Billie Holiday and Lester Young will burn out while young talents arise to take the music in new directions. New virtuosos push the limits of bebop: saxophone colossus Sonny Rollins; jazz diva Sarah Vaughan; and the drummer Art Blakey. But the leading light of the era is Miles Davis whose lush recordings expand the jazz audience; and a cultural icon whose tough-guy charisma comes to define what's hip. As the turbulent Sixties arrive, two saxophonists take jazz into uncharted terrain. John Coltrane explodes the pop tune My Favorite Things, while Ornette Coleman challenges all conventions with a sound he calls 'free jazz.'
