Description

In a joint project with De Werf, Fabrizio Cassol (alto sax) and Kris Defoort (piano) composed a suite of 8 ‘variations’, celebrating the life and music of jazz giant John Coltrane. Saxophonist Coltrane (1926-‘67) was responsible for a whole new approach to improvisation and composition, influencing an entire generation of jazz musicians.

There are definite traces of Coltrane in these ‘Variations on A Love Supreme’, but this music is not merely a tribute to or an imitation of the great man’s work. With a fine ensemble of 11 players Cassol and Defoort take the spirit of ‘Trane’ into a new dimension.
