Description
The Department of Music presents the UMBC Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Matthew Belzer. The program will prominently feature the works from John Coltrane's iconic album A Love Supreme.
A Love Supreme is an extended work in 4 movements, originally for a jazz quartet. The UMBC Jazz Ensemble is drawing on the original recording as well as Wynton Marsalis's arrangement for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra as inspiration for their interpretation.
The movements:
I. Acknowledgement
II. Resolution
III. Pursuance
IV. Psalm
A quote from Coltrane which nicely sums up his goals:
“I want to be a force for real good. In other words. I know that there are bad forces, forces that bring suffering to others and misery to the world, but I want to be the opposite force. I want to be the force which is truly for good” — JOHN COLTRANE (1966 interview with Frank Kofsky)
Admission is free.
For this event, free visitor parking is available in Lot 8, directly adjacent to the Performing Arts and Humanities Building, where Linehan Concert Hall is located — please see here for additional information.
