Sergei Rachmaninoff





From Kensico. Lovely spot. Very easy to locate. Sergei, his wife and one of his daughters.

Sal Mineo


From Gate of Heaven. Took me three times to find Sal and Michael's grave. I was looking for a headstone and obviously this is a ground marker. Unfortunately, it needs some washing. Maybe a good rain will take care of that. Sal was stabbed to death in 1976. Too soon gone.

Toots Shor



From Ferncliff. Their numbering is a little hard to read. Nicely situated near Paul Robeson. Quite pretty actually.

Augustus Julliard


From Woodlawn. Hard to miss.

Not the school, the tomb. But it is big enough to hold classes in. You can get some perspective on its size by checking the height of the door. Enormous.

Billy Martin



Alfred Mauel Martin

From Gate of Heaven. Right where they spotted it on the map. Very horizontal tombstone.

Duke Ellington


From Woodlawn. Coudln't have been easier to find. At a confluence of roads that also has Lionel Hampton and Miles Davis' final resting places. Don't take the "A" train or you'll be way west of here. Take the 4 train instead.
