The barnstorming quintet, inspired by the tunes of the late John Coltrane, present another evening of improvised music, “boldly straying where no band has strayed before”
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, passioned 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.
The band attracts major players from throughout South Wales and the South West and on this occasion we have “Monmouth’s own” Lyndon Owen & Daniel Williams (Saxophones), Ashley John Long (Bass), Dave Jones (Piano) & Ian Poole (Drums).
