Sandro Fazio & Francesco Bearzatti - Dear Trane (2026) [Hi-Res]

Dear Trane is Sandro Fazio's homage to John Coltrane, originally released in 2017 because that year (July 27) marked the 50th anniversary of his death. The album is now being released on Bandcamp because 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of John Coltrane’s birth (September 23).
John Coltrane was one of the greatest jazz innovators in the world.
Dear Trane is born from the attempt to approach the emotional strength of the compositions of the great American saxophonist, making them relive with contemporary sounds, experiences and musical acquisitions.

The songs on the album were "rewritten" by trying to imagine how Coltrane would have adjusted his songs if he would had composed them today. An arduous attempt, considering the magnitude of the composer, but just as pure and true to his intentions. The project idea comes from the certainty that the best way to remain faithful to Coltrane is the search for contemporaneity.
