Coltrane 100 - Joe Lovano, Melissa Aldana, Nduduzo Makhathini, Linda May Han Oh, Jeff 'Ta

Lived-in craft, youthful energy, spiritual traditions: this ode to the greatest by the greatest has it all If almost all musicians have already stood on our stage with their own band, then you know: for the celebration of John Coltranes hundredth birthday, only a supergroup is good enough. With icon Joe Lovano and up-and-coming talent Melissa Aldana, lived-in craft and youthful energy melt together on sax. Pianist Nduduzo Makhathini brings the musical and spiritual traditions of South Africa along. Linda May Han Oh travels literally and figuratively all over the world with her bass. En Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts, already for decades a drummer at the side of the very greatest, is also finally to be seen in our hall for the first time. To say it with Lovano: “We see Coltrane’s compositions as a springboard to explore and express ourselves. This is music in the spirit of the master.”
