98th birthday celebration of John Coltrane
Ars Nova Workshop pulls out all of the stops at the 98th birthday celebration of John Coltrane, with a screening of the new short film, Speakin’ Trane, and a special performance by Bobby Zankel’s Wonderful Sound 7 featuring Immanuel Wilkins. Coltrane (1926 to 1967), also a composer and bandleader, turned bebop and hard bop on their heads, before emerging as a seminal force in the free jazz movement. The film is directed by award-winning filmmaker Shahkeem E. Williams, written and produced by John Coltrane Symposium founder Anyabwile Love, and filmed in Philadelphia at the jazz legend’s old residence, The John & Alice Coltrane House, in North Philly. Speaking' Trane stars Cameron André as the iconic saxophonist, who sits for a revealing interview as he prepares to unveil his groundbreaking album, A Love Supreme. $43.26, 8 p.m. EST. For ages 21 and older. Solar Myth, 1131 S. Broad St. https://www.arsnovaworkshop.org.
