His language transformed the way musicians approached the saxophone, improvisation, and the relationship between harmony, rhythm, and spirituality.<\/p><p>The jazz concert in Rome on September 23, 2026, celebrates his centenary through the compositions and interpretations that made his artistic voice instantly recognizable. On the Elegance Caf\u00e8 stage, the ensemble led by pianist Riccardo Fassi revisits some of the most significant pages of a repertoire shaped by blues, expressive tension, mysticism, and energy.<\/p><p>Coltrane opened jazz to influences from African and Indian music, developing a language capable of transcending geographical and cultural boundaries. This concert presents that richness without turning the tribute into a simple re-creation of the past. His musical universe returns to the center of the listening experience as something vibrant, immediate, and still evolving.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h3>From \u201cNaima\u201d to \u201cA Love Supreme\u201d<\/h3><p>The program includes essential compositions and interpretations such as <strong>My Favorite Things<\/strong>, <strong>Naima<\/strong>, <strong>A Love Supreme<\/strong>, and <strong>Giant Steps<\/strong>, along with other works associated with Coltrane\u2019s artistic journey.<\/p><p>Each composition reveals a different perspective. Melodic delicacy meets passages of remarkable intensity; harmonic structures give way to freedom; and the quartet alternates contemplative moments with more urgent, driving developments.<\/p><p>The result is a concert designed both for listeners who already know Coltrane\u2019s work in depth and for those discovering his music for the first time.<\/p><p><br><\/p><div class=\"lazyload smush-lazyload-video smush-lazyload-youtube\" style=\"--smush-video-aspect-ratio: 16\/9\" data-bg-image=\"url(https:\/\/www.elegancecafe.it\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=smush_video_thumbnail&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FJQvc-Gkwhow%3Fshowinfo%3D0&#038;video_width=2560&#038;video_height=0)\" ><iframe class=\"ql-video\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JQvc-Gkwhow?showinfo=0\" src=\"about:blank\"><\/iframe><span class=\"smush-play-btn\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Play video\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<span tabindex=\"0\" class=\"smush-play-btn-inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Play<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/div><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h2>The musicians on stage<\/h2><p>The lineup brings together four distinguished jazz musicians:<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><ul><li><strong>Riccardo Fassi<\/strong> \u2013 piano<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/filippobianchini.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Filippo Bianchini<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 tenor and soprano saxophones<\/li><li><strong>Steve Cantarano<\/strong> \u2013 bass<\/li><li><strong>Pietro Iodice<\/strong> \u2013 drums<\/li><\/ul><p>The saxophone naturally takes center stage, supported by Riccardo Fassi\u2019s piano and a rhythm section entrusted with conveying the momentum, openness, and contrasts of Coltrane\u2019s repertoire.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h2>Dinner and concert: two ways to enjoy the evening<\/h2><p>Guests can choose between two packages.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h3>Drink and concert<\/h3><p>The <strong>drink and concert package<\/strong>, priced at <strong>\u20ac25<\/strong>, allows guests to enjoy the live performance with a selection from the Elegance Caf\u00e8 cocktail bar.<\/p><p>The drinks menu draws inspiration from the atmosphere of 1920s speakeasies and features original creations made with homemade syrups, fresh juices, and carefully selected spices, alongside an extensive collection of spirits.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p><h3>Dinner and concert<\/h3><p>The <strong>dinner and concert package<\/strong> includes two \u00e0 la carte courses chosen from starters, first courses, and main courses.
