Dave O’Higgins, one of the UK’s greatest living tenor saxophonists, returns with his own unique musical authority to this show, playing the music of John Coltrane, the greatest, most innovative and creative tenor saxophone maestro of 20th Century jazz.

Whilst John Coltrane departed more than fifty years ago he remains more alive than ever. His sound continues to grab the ears of an ever-widening circle of fans. His legend is stone solid: planted firmly in our culture as a 20th century musical giant. His saxophone sound—brooding, searching, dark—is still one of the most recognisable in modern jazz. His influence stretches over styles and genres, transcending cultural boundaries.

Evoking the memories of some of John Coltrane’s masterpieces, Dave O’Higgins, who has delighted sold out Dean Street audiences with his masterclass performances of many great tenor saxophone players, returns, with his trio capturing many great Coltrane moments

This “Take The Coltrane” show, named after the blues he played with Duke Ellington, covers the early Prestige years through “Blue Train” and the feared “Giants Steps” era with its harmonic explorations, on to the live Village Vanguard moments such as “My Favourite Things” to the meditative spiritualism of “Love Supreme” and “Dear Lord."
