Recording at the Klub Zak during 22th Festiwal Jazz Jantar, in Gdansk, Poland, on April 15th, 2019, by Rafal Drewniany.
"Two excellent muscians from Gdańsk - baritone and tenor saxophone player Tomasz Gadecki, drummer Michał Gos and Ukrainian famous bass player known for example from the great and legendary Ken Vandermark's Resonance made a band and decided to pay astonishing and uncommon tribute to John Coltrane.
But this is not a simple tribute. It's the music inspired by Coltrane as musician, personality and human being. Great Coltrane's songs like Naima, The Father And The Son, And The Holy Ghost or Sephardic Light became only a starting point to show us how Trane's music can live in contemporary improvised act.
All music was commissioned and played in Klub Żak during famous Jazz Jantar Festival 2019."-Fundacja Sluchaj!
