About this Event

Gary Crosby & Denys Baptiste Quartet

Gary Crosby and Denys Baptiste lead an all-star quartet to celebrate John Coltrane’s ‘A Love Supreme’, widely regarded as the greatest jazz album of all time.
Gary Crosby OBE is a bassist, band leader and co-founder of Tomorrow’s Warriors. Denys Baptiste is a Mercury Prize nominee and MOBO award winning saxophonist. They are joined tonight by Sultan Stevenson (piano), and Rod Youngs (drums). Together, they mark 60 years since Coltrane’s masterpiece was released.

Gary Crosby writes:

‘Hearing ‘A Love Supreme’ for the first time was a life-changing moment for me as a young musician. There were so many complexities in the compositions and the arrangements, but the groove and directness were real. It is musically as close to a spiritual moment as I have ever had – a message from the mountain top, mind-blowing but completely rooted in everything I believed music could be.

Coltrane stands above all others as a musician. A jazz deity? Possibly. All I know is that with ‘A Love Supreme’, he preached, and we all listened!’
