Celebrate the music and legacy of one of the most influential and innovative figures in jazz with a special birthday tribute to John Coltrane! 

Leading the performance is Derek Douget, a celebrated saxophonist whose music is deeply rooted in the rich, multicultural traditions of Louisiana. Raised in Gonzales, Douget began playing saxophone at age 10 and went on to be mentored by Ellis Marsalis and Harold Battiste. His career includes performances and recordings with Nicholas Payton, Terence Blanchard, Ellis Marsalis, the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, Maurice Brown and more, including the Grammy-winning Book One.

This perfomance brings together 2 additional outstanding New Orleans based saxophonists—Ricardo Pascal, and Trevarri Huff-Boone—to honor Coltrane's enduring influence and extraordinary musical legacy. From Coltrane's groundbreaking work in bebop, hard bop, and modal jazz to his later explorations of spirituality and free improvisation, Coltrane continually expanded the possibilities of jazz and inspired generations of musicians.

Derek Douget, Ricardo Pascal, and Trevarri Huff-Boone each bring their own distinctive voices and perspectives to Coltrane's compositions, promising an evening of powerful melodies, deep grooves, adventurous improvisation, and the spirit of musical exploration that defined Coltrane's career.

Join us at Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro for a special celebration of John Coltrane's music and legacy.
