Celebrating John Coltrane at 100: Jazz Musician in New York

About Celebrating John Coltrane at 100

Celebrating John Coltrane at 100 is a centennial tribute program presented at Jazz at Lincoln Center, built around the saxophonist’s repertoire and its afterlives in New York’s current scene. The set draws from the stylistic range associated with Coltrane’s legacy, from hard bop and ballad playing to freer, late‑period forms. Rather than reenactment, the project treats familiar themes as working material for contemporary improvisers. The approach favors inquiry and structure over spectacle, keeping the music’s questions audible.
