On this weeks special Pit Stop episode the Indie 500 boys follow up on one of the most intriguing threads from the mainline episode on John Coltrane’s album “A Love Supreme”: The St. John Coltrane Church, and for their guide they are blessed with a visit from Dr. Nicholas Baham, a long time church member, professor at California State University East Bay and author of "The Coltrane Church: Apostles of Sound, Agents of Social Justice". The boys and Dr. Baham talk the churches’ origins, Coltranes music as a conduit of the divine, social justice, capitalism, and the universality of music.
