Konnichiwa Fuji-san,
I will be performing in Japan on a 5-concert tour with a fine jazz piano trio on Sep 15-20, please see details on my official webpage: www.francescojazz.com.

Maybe you have the chance to come to Kyoto, Osaka or Amagasaki for any of these events, I would enjoy meeting you.

All the best,
Francesco Crosara

Sonny Rollins is one of the best frineds of John Coltrane since 1947 and most recently my meeting with him was @ Umbria Jazz Perugia, Italy last month.
My photographs of Sonny Rollins have been used for Japanese tour booklet a couple of years ago.

Jimmy Heath, Joe Lovano, Dr. Lonny Smith David Sanborn and Benny Golson are my long time frineds who came to my "Coltrane House of Osaka" seeing my Coltrane memorabilia collection and enjoyeing my wife's cooking.

Anyway, you have many talents - playing instruments and writing notes for media. interesting and keep my eyes open for your next activities. Let me know if you have any chance to come to NYC, where spending my time 2-3 months a year, I will come and cover your show.

keep in touch.
Best - Fuji

HI Marla
So nice hearing from you and you are Friend of Hall one of my best frineds who know Coltrane much better than me.
Well, I am in NYC and going to La Guardia airport within a couple of hours so that no time to write you, very sorry about it
However we are very struggling to preserve it because no Volunteers, no money.
Nothing new right now.

I didn't take any picture of Coltrane nor Home but I have been buying photos from photographer since 1988 and my collection becomes over 2,000 and ready to donate to The Home.
It will be taken over 30 years from now open it for public.
Thank you for your interest and support on this project and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes always

Hi Fuji,

Looking forward to hearing more information about the preservation of John Coltrane's last home in Dix Hills. I just made a small contribution and will continue to do so when my finances allow. I'm hoping the full renovation can take place soon and I'll be one of the first folks driving down from the Boston area to visit.

I believe we may have a mutual friend - Hal Miller.

By the way, thank you very much for allowing your pictures of Coltrane's home to be posted at the dixhills.com site. Each time I go back there to look, I am so grateful to be able to see a little bit of his and his family's personal life.

Best,
Marla
