Welcome to the John Coltrane Memorial Concert. We hope you will take time to browse and become informed and familiar with what we have to offer. The John Coltrane Memorial Concert (JCMC) has been held annually in Boston since its inception in 1977. It is the world's oldest annual performance tribute to the musical and spiritual legacy of the great master. The JCMC was conceived and created by Black American musicians who deeply understood the blessings and messages that 'Trane shared through the music. Through the continued commitment of a core group of Boston based musicians and the continued interest and support of listeners, the JCMC has evolved into a major cultural event. more >>
