Dan Forshaw Quartet
Pizza Express Jazz Club, W1D 3RW , [Venue Details]John Coltrane would have been 100 in 2026. His influence goes far beyond jazz — shaping rock, soul and even hip hop. Bono sang of A Love Supreme in U2’s Angel of Harlem.
Dan Forshaw and his Quintet celebrate with Blue Train, Naima, A Love Supreme and classics from his Miles Davis years. Forshaw, Britain’s leading Coltrane scholar and saxophone tutor at the University of Cambridge brings the music vividly to life.
Coltrane’s journey ran from Navy bebop to Kind of Blue, then his own legendary quartet with McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones. He pushed into the avant garde before his untimely death in 1967.
Coltrane’s story is one of transformation. From his Navy days playing bebop, he rose into Miles Davis’s first great quintet, only to be sacked in 1957 for heroin use. His comeback with Thelonious Monk produced a new sophistication, before he rejoined Miles to shape the best-selling jazz album of all time, Kind of Blue.
Soon after, Coltrane took Giant Steps with his legendary quartet — McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones — setting new standards of power and intensity. By the early 1960s he was pushing into the avant garde, music that was raw, searching, and spiritual. His death at just 40 in 1967 led Miles Davis to say that jazz itself had died.
