About A John Coltrane 100th Birthday Celebration
At The Jazz Gallery, “A John Coltrane 100th Birthday Celebration” frames Coltrane’s centennial as a living New York story, not a museum piece. The program centers on saxophonist Jaleel Shaw, working in dialogue with Coltrane’s legacy through performance rather than narration. In a city where Coltrane’s late work was forged on bandstands and in studios, the set reads as a local act of remembrance. One clear takeaway: the music holds up because it still invites risk and revision.
