John Coltrane turns 100, and the day runs from a sold out birthday set at Dizzy's Club to a 26 hour radio marathon in Philadelphia. Later, the night in Englewood Cliffs that nobody photographed. | The Lead: Coltrane is 100 today: the birthday program at Dizzy's Club is sold out at seven, Philadelphia has run a 26 hour broadcast since midnight, and two governments put his centennial in the record. Listen to This: "Dedicated to You," the Branford Marsalis Quartet with Dianne Reeves, out September 18th on Blue Note, reworks the six standards from the 1963 Coltrane and Hartman album. The Bridge: Nobody photographed the night John Coltrane recorded A Love Supreme, and the pictures everyone knows are from the next night. On the Road: Isaiah Collier plays Coltrane in Baltimore and the Keith Oxman Quartet marks the centennial in Denver, with rooms open in Philadelphia, New York and Chicago. One More Note: Ray Charles was born on this date in 1930 in Albany, Georgia. | The Daily Quintet is an AI-crafted production, researched and checked by humans. Every listing you hear came from the venue or the festival's own organizer.
