This past week, the day that marked the arrival of the Fall season, also marked the 89th anniversary of the birth of one of the greatest jazz musicians of the last century. Born on September 23, 1926, he passed away in his 40th year. Over his brief, yet prolific career, he became a master of jazz, and a defining influence on generations of musicians. The recipient of numerous Down Beat Awards and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, in 2007 he was cited by the Pulitzer Prize Board for his "masterful improvisation, supreme musicianship, and iconic centrality to the history of Jazz". Today we'll celebrate the 89th Anniversary of the birth of John Coltrane.
