Take in the genius of the late John Coltrane during his 100th birthday year. The Philadelphia Jazz Legacy Project will host a deep dive into the music of the legendary saxophonist, featuring a noted jazz scholar, in a 90-minute program. Learn about the complexity of his trailblazing sound that is rooted in his hometown, Philadelphia. Coltrane, who died at age 40, forged an improvisational style known as “sheets of sound,” synonymous with soaring notes and sophisticated harmonies. The event will be part of Coltrane at 100: A Neighborhood Listening Experience, presented by the Free Library of Philadelphia.
