From the venue:
Drummer Justin Varnes leads his quartet featuring saxophonist John Sandfort through many of John Coltrane’s classic songs, while also telling his inspiring story. Throughout Coltrane’s life, he struggled to beat addiction, struggled to be a better person, and struggled to find his own voice on the saxophone.
From his early days with Miles Davis through A Love Supreme, Coltrane turned those struggles into some of the most beautiful and important music ever created.
