John Coltrane was only 40 when he died from liver cancer, but he left quite
legacy in his short life. He was canonized as a saint by the African Orthodox
Church in 1982. There is a St. John Coltrane African Orthodox Church in San
Francisco that uses Coltrane’s music and lyrics in its liturgy and prayers --
further tribute to the creative expression the man gave to the world in his
music.
