In February 2024, KSDS Jazz 88.3 FM San Diego celebrated Black History Month by honoring The Coltrane Legacy.
We covered every major period and album, every meaningful collaboration, and many of the musicians who’ve meaningfully carried that legacy’s torch. The reach of Coltrane’s musical and spiritual influence was vast during his life and has been consistently approaching infinite since his death, so even though 2024's celebration of The Coltrane Legacy has formally concluded, it's never really over for us here at KSDS; we celebrate it, in one form or another, every day. The Coltrane-related content we produced for this month of special programming will continue to reside on this page, its forever home, as a testament to that and a resource for all who, from time to time, feel inspired to take the Coltrane.
