| Title: | Dizzy Gillespie+John Coltrane (&Jazz) |
| Location: | 52nd St? Strawberry Mansion |
| Transcription: | Coltrane is the God of the saxophone. Yet his S.M. house is in shambles (along w/ the rest of the 'hood...). Dizzy transformed the trumpet &'ran' for pres. & he's a Philly boy? How do we honor these world changing & super-spiritual figures in their old home, Philly? I'd feel better knowing they watched over and blessed our city. |
