Saving John Coltrane's Home

We are proud to say that the American jazz musician, John Coltrane, lived here on a quiet residential street during the last years of his life. In his home here, he composed his greatest work, A Love Supreme as well as all of his last works, considered by many to be his greatest and most stirring.

We now find ourselves at the crossroads where history conflicts with modernization. Recently, the property and home, formerly owned by the Coltrane family, was purchased by a local developer. Unknowing of the significance of the home, the builder has applied to subdivide the Coltrane property, demolish the home, to make way for new luxury homes.

This website has been created to help spread the news of the situation .... ask for help .... and hopefully become successful in saving the home from demolition.

We would like to see the situation resolved in a way the John Coltrane himself would have wanted it ... peaceful ... fair to the developer ... fair to the community ... and enjoyed by people all over the world.

John asked God to enable him to help others through his music. His life was cut short ... but this home can allow his message to continue. Please visit the many pages on this site. Because of the urgency of this situation, this website was created quickly and will be updated often. Please check back for the latest news and information.
