SUMMARY:Remembering Coltrane Book Release: Open Mic & Jazz Jam
DESCRIPTION:Monday October 26\, 2026 – 7pm – LIVE \nBlack Squirrel Club – 1045 Sarah St \nRemembering Coltrane Book Release: Poetry Open Mic and Jazz Jam \nJohn Coltrane began his illustrious career in the 1950’s with two high list associations:  Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. Coltrane played with Davis’s band until around 1960\, when he began to lead more dates as a band leader. In 1962\, Coltrane formed the classic ‘Coltrane Quartet’ consisting of McCoy Tyner (piano)\, Elvin Jones (drums)\, and Jimmy Garrison (bass). The conception of this group also coincides with Coltrane’s music taking on a more spiritual direction.  This group recorded some of Coltrane’s most famous and encompassing works. After the classic quartet disbanded\, Coltrane pushed further outwards\, testing the boundaries of improvised music. \nPlease join us as we celebrate John Coltrane’s 100 birthday in words and music
