Elin Forkelid Plays For Trane
John Coltrane reimagined: with disrespectful love Elin Forkelid and her all star band twist and turn John Coltrane's originals
ELIN FORKELID PLAYS FOR TRANE
Playing John Coltrane’s music was far from obvious for Elin Forkelid: in fact, she initially turned it down when Fasching Jazzclub initiated the project in connection with a concert and lecture series in 2018.
Barely two years later, the critically acclaimed album Plays For Trane was released, where Elin
and the band twist and turn Coltrane’s songs, and with great love for
the original make them their own.
