A jazz concert honouring legendary saxophonists. Musicians will pay tribute to the legacy of John Coltrane, Stan Getz, Sonny Rollins, and Lester Young in the intimate setting of Reduta Jazz Club.

🎤 About: John Coltrane

John Coltrane was an American jazz saxophonist and composer, one of the most influential figures in 20th-century jazz. He played tenor and soprano saxophone and developed a dense improvisational approach known as "sheets of sound". His 1964 album A Love Supreme is widely regarded as one of the greatest jazz recordings ever made.

🎤 About: Stan Getz

Stan Getz was an American jazz tenor saxophonist, celebrated for his warm, lyrical tone and fluid phrasing. He played a key role in bringing bossa nova to American audiences, most notably through the album Getz/Gilberto (1964). His career spanned several decades and multiple jazz styles, from cool jazz to Latin jazz.

🎤 About: Sonny Rollins

Sonny Rollins is an American jazz tenor saxophonist born in 1930 in New York City. Widely regarded as one of the greatest improvisers in jazz history, he is known for his powerful tone and inventive phrasing. His landmark album "Saxophone Colossus" (1956) remains a cornerstone of the jazz canon.

🎤 About: Lester Young

Lester Young was an American jazz tenor saxophonist and clarinetist, one of the most influential wind players of the 20th century. His relaxed, lyrical tone helped shape the cool jazz movement and inspired countless musicians. He is closely associated with the Count Basie Orchestra and singer Billie Holiday, who nicknamed him "Pres".
