WRIR celebrates John Coltrane’s 98th birthday!

Mon, Sep 23, 2024

Tonight we’re going to Trane in. Five hours of one of the deepest, fiery, emotional, and serene catalogs in all of jazz from John Coltrane. There will be the essentials mixed with live cuts, alternate takes, and archival interviews. All of this material has been picked and set with intention by Straw with help from The Disco Cat, Fredy J, and other community heads, spanning 1958 – 1967. One Hit Wanda, headhunt, and Agnimaus also provided voice audios to celebrate. Say happy birthday with us, and move with love supreme!

Happy birthday, John Coltrane!
