Dear Ms. Berland and Mr. Petrone,

I have heard about the plans to demolish the ex-residence of John Coltrane.

The impact of John Coltrane's music has yet to be fully realized. It will take quite a few more years for the world to truly appreciate the stature of this great artist. 

In view of this, it is my personal conviction that this small modest house should be conserved in its original state.

Respectfully

John McLaughlin

From Al DiMeola, Pat Metheny, and Mike Stern to John Scofield, Bill Connors, and Scott Henderson, John McLaughlin has been a strong influence on many of the top jazz/fusion guitarists of the last 30 years. McLaughlin's classic recordings of the 1970s have long been regarded as essential listening for anyone with even a casual interest in fusion, and if the British improviser had decided to retire in 1980, he still would have gone down in history as one of jazz-rock's most influential axemen.
