Shabaka Hutchings, Alex Hawkins, John Edwards, Tom Skinner

Albert Ayler once said that John Coltrane was the Father, Pharaoh Sanders was the son, and that he was the Holy Ghost. From a musical and spiritual perspective, what did Ayler mean, and what is it that connects each of these three iconic tenor men?

Shabaka Hutchings will attempt to explain, both, in conversation, and in performance with a band comprising himself (tenor saxophone), Alex Hawkins (piano), John Edwards (bass) and Tom Skinner (drums), playing each of the following compositions:

The Drum Thing, Crescent (Coltrane)
Spiritual, Live at the Village Vanguard (Coltrane)
Upper and Lower Egypt, Tauhid (Sanders)
Astral Travelling, Thembi (Sanders)
Change Has Come, Live at Greenwich Village (Ayler)
Ghosts, Spiritual unity (Ayler)

Amit & Aneesh Patel will be playing records inspirational to Coltrane, Sanders and Ayler from 1730 on the Brilliant Corners sound system.
