The Denys Baptiste
Quartet
performing
John Coltrane’s
A Love
Supreme
Saturday
5 December, 6pm
@ Bishopsgate Institute, London
John Coltrane’s 1965 album A Love Supreme is a jazz
masterpiece, an album that pushed the music into new
territory and freed it from constraints.
Coltrane’s sound was rooted in its time – in the horror of
segregation and the hope of resistance embodied in the civil
rights movement and the leadership of people like Martin
luther King and Malcolm X.
For this very special evening, Mobo award-winning
saxophonist Denys Baptiste and his band will perform their
Love Supreme set. Martin smith, author of John Coltrane:
Jazz, Racism and Resistance, will introduce the evening with
a talk on the album and its context.
Doors open at 6pm for
hot food, drinks, visuals and a DJ. the show starts at 8pm.
