Today would have been John Coltrane's 83rd birthday.
I titled this post as I did simply because that's a really cool song composed by Trane.
The song below is actually a Duke Ellington song that 'Trane did. I've posted it because it is so hauntingly lyrical and beautiful. According to Wikipedia, (an important caveat, I suppose) In a Sentimental Mood was composed in Durham, NC.
John Coltrane was born in Hamlet, NC and grew up in High Point, NC. He left and never returned as far as I know. The photo shown is of a statue in High Point.
