Suppose one were to suggest that Coltrane, like all the jazz greats, is not only playing the song, but is also playing with the song at the same time. I'd suggest listening to "Summertime" as a great example. At points, it's "Summertime," the tune you know, but at others, it's Coltrane doing his thing with it. Until it's "Summertime" again.
I'd suggest not thinking too much, but just grooving as the man makes his way.
