The home of legendary jazz saxophonist John Coltrane has been added to both the New York State and the National Register of Historic Places.

The Dix Hills, Long Island home was the residence of Coltrane, wife Alice and their family from 1964 to 1973, and the site where "A Love Supreme" ? widely considered to be one of the greatest jazz recordings of all time - was composed.

John Coltrane died in 1967 at age 40.
