Tribute to John Coltrane's: My Favorite Things

Join us for an immersive tribute to one of the most iconic recordings in jazz history: John Coltrane’s My Favorite Things — the best-selling album of Coltrane’s career and a landmark in the evolution of modern jazz. Released in 1961, My Favorite Things marked a transformative moment for the classic Coltrane Quartet, featuring McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, and Steve Davis. This period saw Coltrane moving boldly into modal improvisation, expanding harmonic possibilities, and exploring the hypnotic, swirling soprano saxophone sound that became one of his signatures. The quartet was in the midst of finding its unique voice — powerful, searching, and deeply spiritual — laying the groundwork for the groundbreaking music that would follow in the years ahead. This special concert will reimagine the album’s timeless material — from the mesmerizing, modal take on the title track to the quartet’s spacious, exploratory approach to standards. Expect a night of high-energy interplay, deep grooves, and inspired improvisation honoring one of jazz’s most influential eras. A must-hear event for Coltrane fans, jazz lovers, and anyone who wants to experience the magic of this music live.
