The New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate passed a legislative resolution celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of John Coltrane, recognizing him as a renowned artistic trailblazer and innovative New York jazz musician.
Sponsored by Senators Cordell Cleare and Jamaal Bailey, along with Assemblymember Jordan J.G. Wright, Resolution J1845 passed unanimously in both chambers.
“Thank you, New York, for this great honor and recognition of the work and contributions of John Coltrane. New York played such a special role in his life and career. This resolution will be a permanent fixture of the collection at the John and Alice Coltrane Home—site of the definitive Coltrane collection—and we encourage all to visit that cultural and educational landmark. We thank Senators Cordell Cleare and Jamaal Bailey, and Assemblymember Jordan J.G. Wright.”
