Profound, complex, intimate, and powerful, A Love Supreme represents jazz-legend John Coltrane’s acknowledgement of God’s love for humankind. Join six world-class jazz musicians from across the country as they meet in Conway for a special “club performance” at Kings Live Music on Tuesday night, followed by a Thursday night performance of Wynton Marsalis’s ensemble version of Coltrane’s masterpiece at Reynolds Performance Hall. For this rare and provocative performance, the guest musicians will be joined by UCA faculty and the Studio Jazz Ensemble, featuring UCA’s Matthew Taylor, Ross Ahlhorn, and Justin Cook. Guest artists include Matthew Vashlishan, sax and woodwinds; Nathan Eklund, trumpet; Tony Baker, trombone; and The Joshua Espinoza Trio (Joshua Espinoza, piano; Kris Monson, bass; Jaron Lamar Davis, drums).
