Alice Coltrane Birthday with Mr. Edison, Sunday 8/27 Jazz on the Air

A very special Jazz on the Air this Sunday at 3:00 PM with Mr Edison and his guest Marcella Goheen, Executive Director of the Coltrane Home.

The home, which the family of John, Alice (Turiya as she was later known) Coltrane and their four children lived in from 1964 until 1973 (John Coltrane died July 1967). Located in Dix Hills in the Town of Huntington, the home which is a designated local, state and national historic place will soon begin the long awaited major restoration eventually becoming a destination for fans and the curious to explore the place of the Coltrane’s spiritual awakening.

It’s also where John composed “A Love Supreme” and moved into the last musical period of his life. The home where Turiya, an accomplished pianist, who played harp as well and was a member of John’s last group recorded her first five albums after John’s death with members of that group and other jazz luminaries in the basement studio.

Marcella will discuss details and potential timelines of the restoration with Mr Edison as he plays the music Alice recorded in the home. A special Jazz On The Air this Sunday 3-6pm
