The John Coltrane Church began in 1965, when Franzo and Marina King
attended a performance of the John Coltrane Quartet at San
Francisco's Jazz Workshop and saw a vision of the Holy Ghost as
Coltrane took the bandstand. Celebrating the spirituality of the
late jazz innovator and his music, the storefront church emerged
during the demise of black-owned jazz clubs in San Francisco, and
at a time of growing disillusionment with counter-culture
spirituality following the 1978 Jonestown tragedy. The ideology of
the church was refined through alliances with the Black Panther
Party, Alice Coltrane, the African Orthodox Church and the Nation
of Islam. For 50 years, the church has - in the name of its patron
saint, John Coltrane - effectively fought redevelopment,
environmental racism, police brutality, mortgage foreclosures,
religious intolerance, gender disparity and the corporatization of
jazz. This critical history is the first book-length treatment of
the evolution, beliefs and practices of an extraordinary
African-American church and community institution.
