Yoko Suzuki and John Coltrane's A Love Supreme - Thursday Night Jazz - Alphabet City, Northside

Renowned alto saxophonist Yoko Suzuki and her accompanying quartet members Max Leake, Eli Namay, and Roger Humphries perform a full rendition of the John Coltrane masterpiece, A Love Supreme. In addition to performing the full album, Yoko’s quartet will perform various songs centered on the theme of love, including original compositions.

Yoko Suzuki - alto sax; Max Leake - piano; Eli Namay - bass; Roger Humphries - drums

Recorded in a single session in 1964 and not only lasting, but growing in impact in the six decades since its release, A Love Supreme is a defining album, given new life in this program by a sensational quartet of musicians. It is a work as immortal as its subject matter and one that should be experienced in much the same way: by any human being with a heart.

Yoko Suzuki is a jazz saxophonist and scholar who aspires to illuminate the work of under recognized musicians through her research and performance.
