The Harry Dowell Quartet will be at North Devon Jazz Club in The Beaver, Appledore on 2nd March to perform a tribute to the great saxophonist John Coltrane, marking what in 2026 would have been Coltrane's hundredth year.Working in the bebop and hard bop idioms early in his career John Coltrane went on to pioneer the use of modes and was highly influential in the development of jazz. He led at least fifty recording sessions and appeared on many albums by other musicians, including trumpeter Miles Davis and pianist Thelonious Monk. Over the course of his career, Coltrane's music took on an increasingly spiritual dimension, as exemplified on his most acclaimed album A Love Supreme.
Exeter-based saxophonist Harry Dowell took up flute at an early age and then changed to saxophone in his teens. He now concentrates on playing tenor and soprano saxophones and at the gig the quartet will explore the key compositions from the various periods of John Coltrane's dynamic career.
Joining Harry will be pianist Tom Ball, bassist Kevin Sanders and drummer Josh Rose. The gig will start at 8.30 p.m. and entry will be free, although there will be a collection for the band during the evening. Phone The Beaver for a meal booking on 01237 474822.
