´óÏó´«Ã½

The ´óÏó´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra returns to the EFG London Jazz Festival with a full symphonic tribute to the life, work and genius of John Coltrane.

The creator of Blue Train, Giant Steps and A Love Supreme might just be the single greatest creative genius in modern jazz: a figure whose musical legacy is revered by many, and acknowledged by all. Now, his spirit rides again. Coltrane: Legacy for Orchestra is a new live concert experience re-framing some of his greatest works. This special concert features fast-rising trumpeter Giveton Gelin, visionary saxophonist Camilla George, the ground-breaking Nikki Yeoh Trio and the ever-versatile ´óÏó´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra, conducted by Principal Guest Conductor and Curator Edwin Outwater. Together, they’ll take you on a musical journey through Coltrane’s work, from the 1950s through to the late sixties. For one night only, the legend lives.

Presented by Georgia Mann and recorded at Queen Elizabeth Hall on 24 November 2024.
