To round off 2025 on a high note, Carl Mayotte fulfilled one of his greatest dreams: performing John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme. A truly spiritual and revolutionary masterpiece, this iconic 1965 album marked the legendary American saxophonist’s transition from the modal period to a more experimental exploration. Taking on the challenge of performing this iconic work in both an authentic and innovative manner represents a pivotal moment in the Quebec bassist’s career.
To accompany him on this musical adventure, Carl enlisted the help of New York drummer Ari Hoenig, virtuoso pianist François Bourassa—one of Quebec’s greatest talents—and saxophonist Damien-Jade Cyr, a key creative figure on the jazz scene. This concert promises to be one of the major events of the fall, a special moment for music lovers in the nation’s capital.
In addition to the music of John Coltrane, the group will perform compositions by Carl as well as pieces by other great jazz figures.
