John Coltrane
FREE screenings! Coltrane’s Philadelphia: A Documentary Film – Premier! This short documentary relates the story of jazz giant John Coltrane and the years he spent in Philadelphia during the 1940s and 1950s. After migrating from his childhood home in North Carolina in 1943, Coltrane spent years honing his craft in the City of Brotherly Love. This short film, featuring interviews with jazz musicians who knew Coltrane when he called Philadelphia home, as well as footage of the City during the time period Coltrane lived here, illuminates the urban context in which the artist moved the music forward. Members of the production team will be available for question and answers at the screening. Sun Ra: A Joyful Noise dir. Robert Mugge, US, 1980, digital, 60 min.
