The identical twin duo of Jared and Jonathan Mattson re-imagine John Coltrane’s seminal 1964 masterwork, A Love Supreme, approached with their signature mix of looped surf-meets-bebop guitars and tribal jazz drumming that JazzTimes says “manages to hold Coltrane’s revered album in the highest esteem while absolutely shredding it to pieces.”

“The vocalist Pepito Gómez has a siren sound that reaches right back into the 1940s, when the punchy pop music known as mambo overtook Cuba. He’s embracing that affinity with a new 16-piece band, featuring some of the island’s greatest instrumentalists” (The New York Times).
