This is a historic landmark of unprecedented significance in North Carolina. John Coltrane is one of the greatest musicians who has ever lived. He was born in Hamlet l, North Carolina and grew up in High Point, North Carolina before moving to Philadelphia.This place IS safe. I'm proud that North Carolina has this statue. There are many other Jazz musicians who are deserving of one as so many Jazz musicians (and other musicians), hail from N.C. Also featured at the site, are weatherproof audio examples of his work!!!!!!! Three cheers!!! Three cheers!!!Three cheers for John Coltrane!!!!!!!

If you're a "Jazz Person", visiting the area, that loves it's History; stop by and check out the Statue, and Snap a Few pictures.

You need to park on the side, next to the statue and take pictures with it. Do not leave the car or they will tow it. Also...not a safe place. While I was taking pictures I had guys yelling at me " Hey white girl what are u doing?" " Hey cutie take a picture with us" etc...It made me very uncomfortable and unsafe . Avoid going at dark . Do not go alone

If you love jazz, this is a must see. So much history in High Point and this rememberence delivers; The plaque plays different Coltrane hits along with background information about his music. We enjoyed listening to Coltrane while reading but be warned, it plays loudly on a quiet night!

I'm a former architecture student. There are some nice buildings in this area;and it's clean.

I stopped here with my teenage son to expose him to some culture and a little American history. I'm thankful for the people of High Point NC who insured Coltrane a permanent place in their town. "No Son, this isn't where they make those cheap pistols."

This statue and dedication to John Coltrane is really cool in the heart of the city. The description of his short life were nice. It would be nice if there were a local Museum that has more info. We just stumbled on it while walking around.

Incredible statue in High Point NC tribute to one of the greatest.

I liked this monument. First, it looks life-like, but since John Coltrane was a musician; the accompanying story board of his life, played selected clips of his jazz when activated. Well done High Point!

Love trane, great interactive history here too!
