Guitar great Carlos Santana made an impassioned plea in support of a campaign to restore the New Jersey home of jazz saxophone legend John Coltrane during a fundraiser held in Manhattan Sunday (10/6).  Speaking during the Save the Coltrane Home benefit, Santana said the inspirational value of Coltrane can help turn lives around for some young people.  Ravi Coltrane, the musician-son of John, told those assembled that the house was a symbol of what his father believed in.  The modest home was spared the wrecking ball a few years ago and is on the list of America's Most Endangered Historic Places.  Around $1 million needs to be raised to open a museum to Coltrane and about $375,000 to include public access to the home as a part of the project.
