The two sons of acclaimed jazz saxophonist John Coltrane filed a lawsuit saying they are the rightful owners of their father’s house in Strawberry Mansion, across from Fairmount Park.Community activists, historic preservationists, and jazz enthusiasts want to preserve the historic but deteriorating house Coltrane bought in 1952. He bought it for himself, his mother, aunt, and cousin and lived there from 1952 to 1958.
Norman Gadson, a jazz lover who worked in real estate, bought the house from Coltrane’s cousin Mary L. Alexander in 2004. Gadson died in 2007 before he could turn it into a jazz venue. His daughters, Aminta and Hathor, are the surviving members of the Gadson family tied to the house.
