Duluth-based saxophonist Andy Peterson will make his Sacred Heart Music Center debut with his jazz quartet composed of some of the finest, high energy musicians in the Twin Ports. The quartet will offer an exciting show featuring the music of jazz great John Coltrane.

Peterson has been an active performer and educator in the Twin Cities and Twin Ports area for the past half decade, playing at venues such as the Dakota Jazz Club, Jazz Central Studios, Duluth Cider, and many other local establishments. As a youth, Peterson was heavily influenced by the music his mother played around the house, jazz rooted in the tradition of bebop, with a modern taste. He makes a point to be creative, while simultaneously paying respect to the masters. Peterson’s quartet, a powerful improvisational unit, consists of pianist Analise Levesque, bassist Calvin Caron, and drummer Sten Duginski.

Coltrane had an immense impact on the music world, always searching for new creative messages to share through his music. He revolutionized jazz with his innovative, demanding techniques while showing a deep appreciation for sounds from other locales that included Africa, Latin America, the Far East and South Asia. Only living to the age of 39, John Coltrane left the world with his music and spiritual messages that encourage love and positivity. His music has influenced generations of musicians following, in not only the jazz style, but other facets of music.

Peterson will perform music played by John Coltrane from 1957 to the end of his life in 1967, ranging from his initial strides in bebop to his later years of more spiritual experimental music. The Andy Peterson Quartet hopes to provide a night of music that will inspire, and educate about the greatness of the saxophone legend, John Coltrane.
