Opus Online | Coltrane Legacy

The Coltrane Legacy sextet was formed in 2017 on the 50th anniversary of Coltrane's death by double bass player György Orbán, one of the busiest musicians on the Hungarian jazz scene. Coltrane, the saxophonist laid modern jazz on a new footing in barely a decade and a half from the mid-1950's to his death in 1967. In his oeuvre, he has entered spiritual dimensions and created a musical heritage which has affected generations of musicians ever since. György Orbán, an experienced double bassist who has gone through many formations, thought that the saxophonist's heritage is best nurtured by creating a band that plays his own compositions inspired by Coltrane's music and new instrumentations of Coltrane's themes – thus continuing the spiritual jazz today. Despite their young age, his partners are all well-known and renowned musicians from Hungary, Sándor Molnár, Sándor Soso Lakatos and Kálmán Oláh Jr. on saxophones, Krisztián Oláh on piano and András Pecek Lakatos on drums.
