March 10 (UPI) — A church leader in San Francisco is asking for the public’s help to find a historic saxophone, linked to legendary jazz musician John Coltrane.
Archbishop Reverend Franzo King, who founded the Saint John Coltrane Church 60 years ago as a spiritual hub for jazz lovers and had used the Selmer Mark VI Tenor saxophone in church services for five decades, said the saxophone was stolen earlier this year from his front porch.
