Following the acclaimed tribute to the music of George Gershwin, Massimiliano Rolff returns with a new project dedicated to one of the most profound and visionary figures in jazz history: John Coltrane. 

On the centenary of Coltrane’s birth, Rolff has released “Peace on Earth”:  the album  and the concert that reinterprets and celebrates Coltrane’s music with deep respect and spiritual intensity. 

Staying true to the mystical essence of Coltrane’s message, Rolff has composed and arranged two original suites for piano trio, crafting a unique sonic journey that blends purity, depth, and improvisational freedom. The music moves gracefully between tradition and modernity, creating a powerful emotional arc where each note becomes a path toward inner peace and universal harmony. 

“Peace on Earth” — also the title of one of Coltrane’s late compositions — is both a tribute and a vision: a meditative and virtuosic performance in which the trio reveals extraordinary interplay and expressive depth. With lyrical themes, expansive improvisations, and masterful arrangements, this project invites the audience into a space of reflection, connection, and spiritual elevation through the transformative power of jazz. In a time marked by widespread conflict and uncertainty, Peace on Earth resonates as a powerful artistic statement — a heartfelt call for peace among all people.
