Glass Studio

Described by Crofton as “an auspicious night indeed,” this unique performance will explore the full emotional and musical range of Coltrane’s extraordinary catalogue — from the power and intensity of his classic quartet recordings to the beauty, lyricism, and spiritual transcendence of his later work.

The Craig Crofton Quartet features an outstanding international lineup, and are joined by the acclaimed vocalist and trumpet player Marvin Muoneké. They’ll be performing selections from the legendary John Coltrane & Johnny Hartma* album — bringing warmth, intimacy, and soulful contrast to an evening that will also venture into the more exploratory and deeply spiritual side of Coltrane’s music.

Audiences can expect a night of high-energy improvisation, deep groove, and moments of real emotional intensity — interwoven with Craig’s engaging insights and stories that bring Coltrane’s world vividly to life.
