John Coltrane, the Giant! A centennial celebration.

Celebrating John Coltrane’s Centennial

Alfreda’s Cinema, in collaboration with Sista’s Place, invites you to John Coltrane the Giant, an evening honoring the spiritual, sonic, and cultural legacy of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.

Curated and led by filmmakers Shahkeem Williams and Anyabwile Love, this gathering moves through film, sound, and shared listening as a form of collective devotion. The program features rare and resonant footage from Speakn’ Trane, The Church of Saint Coltrane, and performance archives that trace Coltrane’s enduring influence across generations.

The evening culminates in an intentional vinyl listening session, guided by Williams and Love, inviting deep listening, reflection, and communion through sound—honoring Coltrane not only as a musician, but as a spiritual force.

Join us for a night of memory, reverence, and resonance.
