John Coltrane
John Coltrane was one of the most significant saxophonists in music history. He enlisted in the Navy on one of the most historical days in war history – August 6th, 1945 – the day America dropped the “Little Boy” atomic bomb on Hiroshima. He then moved to the base of Pearl Harbor where he joined a swing band called “The Melody Masters”.
