I am excited to bring my very first big band show to New York as we celebrate the life and music of John Coltrane for his centennial! We’ll be performing my arrangements of Coltrane’s music and my originals inspired by his life and music, interspersed with a spoken word artist performing the words and writings of Coltrane himself.

Tickets are a $10 suggested donation and can be bought here: https://wordupbooks.com/event/2026-11-15/coltrane-100th-celebration-ft-joseph-herbst-big-band
