BIRD Rotterdam presents Collier Plays Coltrane, a special jazz night celebrating 100 years of John Coltrane. Saxophonist and composer Isaiah Collier pays tribute to one of jazz’s greatest innovators with an exclusive talk and live concert.

Hailed as “The Next Sax Giant” by DownBeat Magazine, Collier is one of the most compelling voices in contemporary jazz. His five-star album Cosmic Transitions, recorded at the legendary Rudy Van Gelder Studio, reflects his deep connection to Coltrane’s musical and spiritual legacy.

Before the concert, Collier joins renowned interviewer Andrew Makkinga for a conversation about John Coltrane’s lasting influence on jazz, music and culture.

Expect an evening of powerful improvisation, musical exploration and jazz at its finest.
