McClintock Choral and Recital Room
Darius Hampton and Joe Clark, conductors
Saxophonist, bandleader, and composer John Coltrane is among the most influential figures in the history of jazz and 20th-century music. He began his career working in the bebop and hard bop styles, eventually helping to pioneer the use of modes and becoming a leader in the development of free jazz. As Coltrane’s September 23 centennial anniversary approaches, the Darius Hampton and Joe Clark ensembles pay tribute to his legacy.
Tickets are $6 for the general public and $4 for students with valid ID.
