    The Nashville Jazz Workshop and the Frist Center for the Visual Arts announce the return of the popular jazz performance and education series, Jazz on the Move. Each program in the series focuses on a significant jazz style, artist or period in jazz history. The format is a combination lecture and performance, presented by some of Nashville's top jazz artist/educators.

    John Coltrane was one of the most influential jazzmen of our age. His life and career were marked by a continuous searching, both musical and spiritual. Stories abound about how "Trane" practiced constantly, even during breaks. His work spanned several periods of jazz history, from his work with Miles Davis in the 1950's to his groundbreaking "Giant Steps" and the later spiritual explorations of "A Love Supreme." Coltrane has had a profound influence on almost all modern saxophonists, including our host for this presentation, Rahsaan Barber. Rahsaan and his band (that includes Jerry Navarro, Jody Nardone, & Nioshi Jackson) will discuss and demonstrate Coltrane's music across his different periods. This concert is made possible by an Arts Builds Communities (ABC) grant from the Metropolitan Nashville Arts Commission in cooperation with the Tennessee Arts Commission.
