Boston jazz fans have yet another reason to be thankful for John Coltrane: Without the legendary saxophonist's inspiration, the Equinox Music Festival wouldn't exist.
``Coltrane said his desire was to make better and better music because music was a force for good in the universe,'' said musician and Northeastern University professor Bill Lowe.
Back in 2000, Duffy approached saxophonist and Northeastern professor Leonard Brown, producer of the John Coltrane Memorial Concert, about taking a different approach to the annual event.
The latest takes place on Saturday when the Boston Jazz Repertory Orchestra, of which Lowe is a member, headlines the second annual Holiday Extravaganza at the Copley Theatre.

Why Teach Jazz
Music has been a part of the American educational curriculum since the 19th century.1 Traditionally, the content of the music curriculum has been focused on the classics of the western European tradition.
In the 1940's, ten colleges offered jazz courses on a noncredit basis, andfive colleges offered jazz for credit.
The traditional music education philosophy in the United States in the first half of the 20th century was solidly rooted in the western European tradition.
With the current trend toward district and state wide curriculum requirements which are test- and standardbased, it is becoming increasingly important for teachers to justify the content in their music instruction.
