SIGNED BY COLTRANE (MUSIC.) COLTRANE, JOHN. Real photo postcard of Eddie Vinson, signed by Coltrane as "Johnny Coltrane," together with trumpeter Johnny Coles, and Eddie "Mr. Cleanhead" Vinson. 5-1/2x3-1/2 inches. New York, circa 1947-1948
rare early signature of the jazz giant. Virtually all autographs of John Coltrane are scarce, but this early one from the time when he was a back-up player for Eddie Vinson is truly rare. Vinson had been a featured player with Cootie Williams, but formed his own 16 piece band in 1947. "Johnny" Coltrane played sax with the band.
