The Coltrane Studio

The Coltrane’s had a recording studio in the basement of the home of Dix Hills. Thanks to Fuji, we have some photos of the studio as photographed by Akiyoshi Miyasita which were published in Swing Journal.

These photos are scanned from the Swing Journal article. Mr. Miyasita has generously offered to make these originals and many others available for viewing to help in the preservation effort.
