Great Music, Rich Conversation, News on the Coltrane Home
They’re going to bring some favorite LP’s and give a guided tour of select tracks. They’ll also be talking about amazing things happening down the road at The The John and Alice Coltrane Home in Dix Hills, which they have been a part of for decades, and the John Coltrane Centennial.
It’s all part of “Rolling Under the Stars” a month-long birthday present to Jack Kerouac’s soul…and now our dear Jim Darcy’s, too…a streaming consciousness of art, music and poetry. Check out details on the firefly artists website.
