26: COLTRANE DEDICATION
The 'Coltrane Dedication Quintet' is a collective of musicians who recognise the emotional power of the later music of
John Coltrane and use those compositions as their own springboard for creating a powerful, engaging, and passionate
communication through improvised music.
'Coltrane Dedication' is about taking the spirit of that great movement in music between 1960 and 1967 and laying it out
in a 21st century context; truly dynamic in its approach, the band never quite knows the direction the music and audience
will take it. This is certainly not a 'tribute band' copying previous work, but it attributes due respect to the spirit of
musical freedom!
Caractacus Downes and Lyndon Owen (Saxophones), Dave Jones (Piano), Ian Poole (Drums), Ashley John Long (Bass)
ADM £6/ £5 concessions
