Born in 1926, John Coltrane grew up in High Point, North Carolina. He played E-flat horn and clarinet, switching to alto saxophone at the age of 15. Coltrane studied at the Ornstein School of Music in Philadelphia and served in a Navy band in Hawaii. In the late 1940s, Coltrane played for bandleaders Eddie Vinson, Jimmy Heath and Dizzy Gillespie, and in 1953, he joined the Johnny Hodges Septet, playing tenor saxophone full-time.
