Volunteers working outside at the Coltrane Home in early 2021
Things are Grooving at the Coltrane Home!
Among the notables who have made Long Island their home, John Coltrane wrote his masterwork in Dix Hills. After his passing, his also incredibly gifted wife, Alice, recorded three albums there. That ranch home, where they raised their family, is an understated treasure that folks have been working hard for many years to restore.
We love this recent article from Clive Young for Mixonline.Com about the The John and Alice Coltrane Home in Dix Hills entitled, “From The Editor: A Restoration Supreme—Saving John Coltrane’s Home and Studio”
After years of renovation and other endeavors to carry forward the legacies of John and Alice Coltrane, the folks behind this decades-long effort are excited to say they plan to open the house as a museum and cultural site in 2026.
