For this year’s opening, the music of John Coltrane will be featured once again, this time on the Arrival day of the Master, with this amazing quartet led by one of the greats in this music, Chico Freeman. The band is called Equinox which is the time or date at which the sun crosses the celestial equator, when day and night are of equal length (about September 23rd).
