The Coltrane Home

The legendary jazz saxophonist and composer John Coltrane was a resident of Dix Hills from 1964 until his death in 1967.  His second wife Alice, an acclaimed jazz pianist, organist, harpist, and composer, continued to live in their Dix Hills home until 1973.  The Coltrane Home in Dix Hills has been credited as being the site where many of "Trane's" most important musical works were written.  Noted music historian Ashley Kahn clearly references the Coltrane Home as the site of inspiration for A Love Supreme, in his 2002 book on "Trane's" signature album.  The home was also the site of Coltrane Studios, where many recordings were made.  The Friends of the Coltrane Home in Dix Hills is dedicated to restoring the Long Island home of John and Alice Coltrane in order to preserve and perpetuate their legacies. 

While this historic home is not yet open to the public, The Friends of the Coltrane Home strives to fulfill John and Alice Coltranes’ vision of goodwill and connection through the sharing of the common language of music, and by

• Creating an inspirational museum and archives celebrating the Coltranes’ music and influences, and the music legacy they were and remain a part of;
• Providing an outreach center for music education and an inspiration for the appreciation and making of music for people of all ages and backgrounds.

In addition to its ongoing work to preserve, restore, and interpret The Coltrane Home, The Friends also present an annual Coltrane Day MusicFest in Huntington's Heckscher Park.
