Event Description

50 years have passed since the legendary saxophonist/composer/creative pioneer John Coltrane released A Love Supreme. Very possibly the greatest album of all time, a "legendary album-long hymn of praise" (Rolling Stone Magazine, 2003), the spirit of A Love Supreme inspires the leftcoast/eastcoast improv series.

In leftcoast/eastcoast improv, the NOW Society presents improvisers with histories from the Atelier de Musique Experimentale in Montréal and the New Orchestra Workshop Society in Vancouver. The series includes the NJLQ Trio, musicians from NOW ensembles and early improvisers who will come together to pay homage to the spirituality, creation and beauty of the music of John Coltrane.
