Within its walls, Coltrane practiced with relentless devotion, welcomed fellow musicians, and endured both personal struggle and renewal—culminating in his breakthrough masterpiece Blue Train (1957). From this North Philadelphia home, Coltrane rose from an itinerant sideman to a visionary artist whose music reshaped the course of modern jazz.

On October 10, his son Ravi Coltrane—himself a celebrated saxophonist, bandleader, and torchbearer of his father’s legacy—brings his trio to Solar Myth to honor this history and propel it forward.

Proceeds from this event directly support the stabilization and restoration of the Coltrane House, ensuring that this vital landmark remains a source of inspiration for future generations.
