On Wednesday 23 September 2026 — the 100th birthday of John Coltrane and the autumn equinox — saxophonist Craig Crofton returns to the Glass Studio for a very special centenary celebration honouring one of the most influential and spiritually profound artists of the twentieth century. Craig Crofton Tenor Saxophone Anders Olinder Piano Pasquale Votino Bass Paolo Adamo Drums Marvin Muoneké Voice 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. Suitable for ages 14+ Tickets Wednesday 23 September 2026 7.30pm Book Now A 9% booking fee applies online and over the phone. A £2.50 postage fee is charged where applicable. Glass Studio
Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
