Modern Jazz & Improv Session: Coltrane 100

About this event

This special edition of The Hang commemorates what would have been John Coltrane’s 100th birthday by dedicating the evening to his music. The host trio—bassist Mario Angelov, pianist Justin Zitt, and drummer Micha Jesske—will open with a prepared set that explores Coltrane’s compositions, setting the tone for an open improvisation session that follows. Musicians from the Rhein-Main region and beyond are encouraged to bring their instruments and join in, while non-playing guests can simply enjoy the live music with a drink in hand. The format is not a beginner jam but a platform for high-level musical exchange, welcoming curious improvisers, students, and seasoned players alike. The event takes place in the intimate concert hall of St. Bonifatiuskirche, which offers a bar and even a table tennis table for those who fancy a casual game between tunes. Whether you come to play, listen, or meet fellow jazz enthusiasts, the evening is designed for spontaneous connections and shared inspiration in a local, community-driven atmosphere.
