Sunday, November 21, 7 pm
On Sunday, November 21st at 7 p.m., we will host a special evening at All Souls as we remember the work and life of Thomas Merton, noted writer of the contemplative life and monastic spirituality. Merton was a lifelong lover of jazz music. So, this year to mark Merton’s legacy, we will welcome a gifted jazz combo from Louisville, Kentucky who will perform John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme.
The concert will present music from the spiritual side of Coltrane, particularly from A Love Supreme, in which Coltrane attests to the power, glory, love and greatness of God. Coltrane felt that we all must make a conscious effort to effect positive change in the world, and that his music was an instrument to create positive thought patterns in the minds of people.
The musicians performing are Dick Sisto on vibraphone, Steve Allee on piano, Jeremy Allen on bass and Jason Tiemann on drums. The musicians are nationally recognized and have performed and recorded with some of the biggest names in jazz. They are all jazz educators at major universities.
This special evening will cost only $10 per person. To reserve a spot, please call the Cathedral office at 274-2681. We strongly encourage you call soon and pay in advance. We expect this evening to be packed and we may have to turn folks away who wait until the last minute to attend.
