Monday Music: John Coltrane


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.
