Today in Jazz History: John Coltrane

Born September 23, 1926 in Hamlet, North Carolina, John Coltrane was always surrounded by music. His father played several instruments sparking Coltrane’s study of E-flat horn and clarinet. 

The John Coltrane Quartet created some of the most innovative and expressive music in Jazz history including the hit albums: "My Favorite Things," "Africa Brass," " Impressions," "Giant Steps," and his monumental work "A Love Supreme." Coltrane felt we must all make a conscious effort to effect positive change in the world, and that his music was an instrument to create positive thought patterns in the minds of people.

The Coltrane legacy continues at the 43rd Annual University of Pittsburgh Jazz Seminar and Concert. Check back soon to find out how.
