About the Event
The Three Tenors: Trane, Rollins, and Getz
Join the CJRO big band and vocalist Hannah Rodriguez for a high-powered night celebrating three tenor sax legends: John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, and Stan Getz. Marking Coltrane’s centennial, the program moves from the drive of “Impressions” (featuring a four-tenor showdown) to the cool swing of selections from the 1962 recording, Big Band Bossa Nova. The evening closes with Rollins’ “Tenor Madness,” with an open invitation for saxophonists in the audience to bring their horns and play along with the band!
John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, and Stan Getz each brought a unique voice to the world of jazz, shaping the music in lasting ways. Coltrane’s powerful, searching sound pushed the boundaries of improvisation, Rollins’ bold tone and inventive style made him a master of spontaneous creativity, and Getz’s smooth, lyrical approach introduced countless listeners to the beauty of jazz. Together, they represent three of the most influential saxophonists in American music, whose work continues to inspire musicians and audiences alike.
Hannah Rodriguez is a dynamic, award-winning vocalist and multi-instrumentalist based in Northern Colorado. With deep ties to Denver’s vibrant music scene, her genre-blending style fuses jazz, rock, and pop and she’s earned accolades from DownBeat Magazine and the Sonic Spotlight competition for her expressive vocal performances and inventive arrangements.
