After many years of fighting - Thank you Ravi Coltrane, Anthony Tidd, and Mark Christman for continuing the fight to restore the Coltrane House! share.inquirer.com/WLpD5t @aminhnow.bsky.social #Coltrane #Jazz #Philadelphia

John Coltrane’s endangered Strawberry Mansion home is finally being restored and revitalized

The jazz legend bought the house at 1511 N. 33rd Street and lived there until 1958. Fires, demolition, and legal troubles have long threatened its survival.

Georgie Bonds was a wonderful singer and an even fabulous guy. I got to meet him when he needed a bit of help fixing his car and Jazz Bridge helped him out. www.chestnuthilllocal.com/stories/gtow...?

G’town’s Sweet Georgie Bonds was ‘married to the blues’ - The Chestnut Hill Local

Bonds, who died Jan. 13 at age 72, was a member of the Philadelphia Black Cowboys. But as much as he loved horses, he loved playing the blues even more.
