Bassist, band leader and co-founder of Tomorrow's Warriors, Gary Crosby OBE teams up with Mercury Prize nominee and MOBO award winning saxophonist Denys Baptiste to lead an all-star quartet for this celebration of what is widely regarded as the greatest jazz album of all time, John Coltrane's A Love Supreme.Marking the 60-year anniversary of the recording of the album, Gary and Denys will be joined by Andrew McCormack on piano, and Rod Youngs on drums.Discussing the impact that Coltrane's magnus opus had on him, Gary Crosby explains 'Hearing A Love Supreme for the first time was a life-changing moment for me as a young musician.

There were so many complexities in the compositions and the arrangements, but the groove and directness were real.

It is musically as close to a spiritual moment as I have ever had.'As well as playing the whole of A Love Supreme, the quartet will treat us to a selection of other music from the same period of the 1960s.Denys Baptiste - tenor sax, Andrew McCormack - piano, Gary Crosby - double bass, Rod Youngs - drums
