As a community-builder, the late Pappy Martin founded the Love Supreme School of Music that focused on instrumental lessons, theory and the science of music. Named after arguably the best album John Coltrane ever recorded, the Love Supreme School launched the careers of many local and national musicians.
Ahmad Pleasant started lessons at the school at age four. Now a high school junior, Ahmad is a member of the The Progressions Quartet which consists of some of Western New York’s finest emerging jazz talent. Join us when Ahmad Pleasant (alto saxophone), Christian Bowman (drums), Oscar Woodrich (guitar) and Jackson Edwards (bass) pay special tribute to John Coltrane.
