(JOHN) COLTRANE 100: A TRIBUTE TO ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL JAZZ INNOVATORS

AB, Bozar and Kaaitheater join forces to present a unique tribute to John Coltrane: one of the most influential innovators in the history of jazz. Coltrane sculpted an entirely inimitable signature sound with his saxophone (a Belgian invention by Adolphe Sax). 

His rich oeuvre is now considered a sacred legacy: “Many artists achieve greatness but very few produce work that is so moving that it’s considered sacred.” To mark Coltrane’s 100th birthday, in 2026 we honour his legacy with a series of dance performances, concerts, screenings and artist talks. 

FLAT EARTH SOCIETY: THE COLTRANE MUTATIONS
A while back, Bozar posed the following question to Flat Earth Society (FES) (B): “How would you approach John Coltrane’s music?” The fifteen-piece collective is one of our great prides on the international jazz scene, but how do they view the man who, for a time, seemed to carry that very world on his shoulders? The Coltrane Mutations presents idiosyncratic arrangements and interpretations of several Coltrane classics alongside new compositions, all deeply inflected with the ‘Trane virus’. Peter Vermeersch, Peter Vandenberghe & Co. will pay homage to Coltrane’s free spirit with a dash of surrealism and a large dose of originalit
