LA JAM DU DIMANCHE DE CALOÉ

New season of JAM by Caloé, who invites Olga Amelchenko for this session in a special tribute. An iconic figure in jazz and one of the greatest saxophonists of all time, John Coltrane revolutionized music with his virtuosic playing. Coltrane began his career alongside legends like Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk, before establishing himself as a visionary leader with legendary albums such as A Love Supreme and Giant Steps. His music transcends genre boundaries and continues to inspire generations of artists. Coltrane has left an immortal musical legacy and an indelible influence on the global jazz scene. Caloé hosts the Sunday jam sessions once a month, evenings dedicated to young talents. An hour of concert to set the tone, followed by a jam session open to everyone! Born in 1988 in Russia, Olga Amelchenko began her musical journey at the age of 5, singing in a choir before turning to piano and dombra. After studying choir conducting at the Abakan Conservatory, she discovered her true passion for the saxophone. In 2006, she continued her training at the Novosibirsk Conservatory, and in 2012, she moved to Germany to refine her craft, studying there until 2019.
