Music concert ANTON JARL QUARTET PLAYS COLTRANE in Barcelona

The name John Coltrane remains linked to one of the greatest figures in jazz history, a musician who changed the course of Afro-American culture and society with his unmistakeable style attached to the explosion of the New Thing, the movement that took black music into the avant-garde and committed it to its times. With the historic quartet completed by McCoy Tyner, on piano, Jimmy Garrison, on double bass, and Elvin Jones, on drums, Coltrane put out seminal albums, such as A Love Supreme (Impulse!, 1965). He constructed expressive, spiritual music that brought about a revolution in the jazz genre of the time and marked the destiny of generations of blowers for ever more. Today, a Barcelona drummer, Anton Jarl, evokes the figure of Coltrane 45 years after his death. A recognised sideman on the Barcelona scene, Jarl is one of the musicians with the best credentials for paying tribute to Coltrane, and even more so if he does so flanked by a trio of fellow giants from our jazz scene.
