And if we assume that Larisa Shepitko, starting in 1975 to film the adaptation of Vasil Bykov's story "Sotnikov", heard somewhere (or heard even earlier) John Coltrane's record Ascension ( Impulse!, 1960)
“One day, when I was listening to Ascension , I suddenly went into a trance-like state and imagined myself flying over Africa. I seemed to feel the breath of the entire continent, its pulsating, energized life; I heard both African music and Coltrane music at the same time. But he saw no people, only the savannah and the jungle, although he flew at a height of no more than fifteen feet. It was Coltrane's music that took me there, as if he were leading me by the hand." - John Coltrane
