What a difference a day makes!  Philadelphia Jazz Day 2012 at the John Coltrane House has made an enormous difference for our organization – giving us a huge boost in visibility and support. We thank the jazz musicians, jazz organizations, and the officials from the city of Philadelphia who made the Jazz Day event possible and successful.

 

Since April 13, activity on our website has zoomed. The John Coltrane House has had numerous inquiries, offers of support, some donations and a number of people pledging to donate when their finances permit.

NOW, THIS IS A HOUSE!

 

 

A few weeks ago I took a friend through the John Coltrane House. Like most everyone else, once inside the residence, she was enchanted. It is a very beautiful place. She noted the antique tile floor and walls of the entrance way, glass door knobs on all the doors, kitchen pantry, back staircase, large built in wooden wardrobes in the front bedrooms, ten foot ceilings. The house has an aspect and dignity of an earlier, more formal time and exudes “atmosphere.” There are six bedrooms, four large and two smaller, and two full baths.
