Craig Crofton - tenor sax, Anders Olinder - piano, Pasquale Votino - bass, Paolo Adamo - drumsSeptember 23rd 2026 was the 100th anniversary of John Coltrane’s birth, and to mark the occasion saxophonist Craig Crofton brings a powerful and deeply personal tribute to The Be-Bop Club, celebrating the life, music and enduring legacy of one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century.
Following a series of acclaimed performances Crofton continues his exploration of Coltrane’s extraordinary catalogue, from the driving energy of his early work to the spiritual depth and transcendence of his later recordings. This special centenary performance honours not only the music, but the philosophy behind it: Coltrane’s lifelong search for truth, unity and higher expression through sound.
Audiences can expect an evening of high energy improvisation, deep groove and moments of real spiritual intensity, interwoven with Craig’s engaging insights and stories that bring Coltrane’s world vividly to life.
