GIANT STEPS TRIBUTE BY ELLY BROUCKMANS QUARTET

A tribute to John Coltrane, one of the most transformative voices in the history of modern jazz. With Giant Steps, Coltrane pushed harmony, velocity and improvisation into new territory, creating a language that continues to challenge and inspire musicians across generations. At the heart of this music lies a constant search for movement, tension and release. Rapid harmonic cycles, powerful melodic lines and a relentless forward momentum turned Giant Steps into both a milestone and a rite of passage for jazz musicians. For this tribute, the quartet led by Elly Brouckmans revisits that spirit through the energy of the classic saxophone quartet format. Between precision and freedom, the band explores the architecture, drive and expressive intensity that define Coltrane’s music. More than a historical homage, this concert celebrates the living pulse of a repertoire that still shapes the sound of jazz today.
