St George's Bristol: A Winter of Musical and Philosophical Revelations

St George’s Bristol

Marking the 60-year anniversary of the recording of the album Gary and Denys will be joined by Andrew McCormack (piano), and Rod Youngs (drums).

Discussing the impact that Coltrane’s magnus opus had on him, Gary Crosby explains “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!”
