Two locally based jazz stars present the music of John Coltrane. Trane played a key role in moving jazz forwards during the 1950s and 1960s, pioneering the use of modes and later free jazz, but that’s not why he is still so important today. His playing reflected his intense, spiritual personality and brought a new depth to the expressive possibilities of jazz. For many people, Trane is the quintessential sax player, using his instrument to voice an urgent message that resonates now as powerfully as it ever did.
