  • Word Up Recirculation: Coltrane (100th) Celebration with the Joseph Herbst Big Band

    Word Up Recirculation 876 Riverside Drive (near 160th St.), New York, NY, United States

    Coltrane Celebration celebrates the life and music of John Coltrane, with this year marking his centennial. The show's first performance was in 2019 in North Carolina, Coltrane's home state, while this show is the New York premiere. The show features both arrangements of Coltrane's music and original music inspired by Coltrane's life written for 17-piece jazz band by Joseph Herbst. Spoken word is interwoven throughout the show, bringing to life Coltrane in his own words as the script is all pulled from interviews and writings by Coltrane, allowing those less familiar with Coltrane's work to be fully immersed as well.
