A Love Supreme
Saxophone Summit
Sept 21, 2024 (12PM-4pm)

•••FREE CONCERT•••

We are celebrating John Coltrane’s Birthday on Sept 21, 2024 with Coltrane-ist coming to play John Coltrane’s music transcribed by Andrew White. Andrew White, saxophonist, musicologist, and ”Keeper of Trane”, is the world’s leading authority on the music of John Coltrane.

In 2018, I commissioned Andrew to write 5 songs of John Coltrane for 10 saxophones and a drummer. Unfortunately, Andrew died in 2019 before he could come on the tour to play his music. These performances will be the “Premiere.”

We have Charles McNeal leading the group, Lyle Link, Dave Salvator, Jared Cruz, Doug Rowan, Dan Gonda, Jayn Pettingill, Steven Nelson, Michael Young, Bob Kenmotsu and Deszon Claiborne on Drums…

Erik Jekabson will lead the Community Play Along and is inviting Music Teachers with Students, Professionals and Music students to learn 3 songs (Impressions, Giant Step and African Brass) to come play for the Community. We have Laura Klein (Piano), Mike Quigg (Drum), and Arthur Chico Lopez (bass) to accompany the Community Play Along.

This is a FREE Community Benefit Project and we can use help with donations. Please pay it forward so we can keep doing this project. Please make a donation today.

Send email to registersaxsummit@gmail.com to join the Community Play Along.

Thank you,
Coltrane Lives


My music is the spiritual expression of what I am — my faith, my knowledge, my being… When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something really good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hangups… I want to speak to their souls.
— John Coltrane
