        COMMEMORATING  the  5th  Annual Coltrane Day Music
        Celebration to be held on July 20, 2019

  WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to honor and  pay
tribute   to   those   cultural  institutions  and  organizations  whose
commitment to promoting the richness  and  diversity  of  the  arts  and
entertainment  world  has  contributed  to  the  strength, vitality, and
cultural enrichment of their communities and  the  great  State  of  New
York; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commemorate  the 5th Annual Coltrane Day Music Celebration to be held at
Heckscher Park, Huntington, New York, on Saturday, July 20,  2019;  this
auspicious  event  will  host  workshops  that include music, dance, and
creativity sessions, and all proceeds will go to the restorations of the
Coltrane home in Dix Hills; and

  WHEREAS, John Coltrane is considered to be a  pioneer  in  the  jazz
genre for his introduction of emotion into jazz; and

  WHEREAS,  Coltrane  Day  began in 2015 and was made in the memory of
John Coltrane to be a time of creativity and  expression;  the  day  was
also  created  to  help  others  gain  a  deeper  appreciation  of  John
Coltrane's contribution to jazz; and

  WHEREAS, The mission of the Friends of  the  Coltrane  Home  in  Dix
Hills  is to restore the home to the way it was when the Coltrane family
lived there and open it to the public as  a  historic  home  to  educate
children  and  all people about John and Alice Coltrane and their life's
mission to be a force for good through their music; and

  WHEREAS, Coltrane Day, coordinated by the Coltrane  home,  preserves
Coltrane's  legacy through education, outreach, and events and concerts;
and

  WHEREAS, It  is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  that  when
individuals and organizations of such noble aims and accomplishments are
brought  to  our  attention, they should be celebrated and recognized by
all the citizens of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
commemorate  the 5th Annual Coltrane Day Music Celebration to be held on
July 20, 2019; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Friends of the Coltrane Home in Dix Hills.
