What happens when three restless musicians enter the world of John Coltrane, not to recreate it, but to see where it might lead?There are musicians who play the music of the past. And there are those who listen for what is still waiting to be discovered inside it.In 2026, the centenary of John Coltrane's birth becomes the starting point for a new journey. On MiXMONK Supreme, Joey Baron, Bram de Looze and Robin Verheyen immerse themselves in the music of one of jazz's most visionary voices, allowing his spirit of freedom, intensity and discovery to spark something entirely their own.Recorded during a residency at Muziekcentrum de Bijloke, the album feels less like a tribute than a conversation across time. Coltrane's music opens the door; MiXMONK walks through it with it's own unmistakable energy. New original compositions meet music from Crescent, Coltrane's deeply lyrical and intimate masterpiece, reshaped through the trio's instinctive interplay and adventurous imagination.There is reverence here, but no nostalgia. The music moves, breathes and takes unexpected turns. Baron, de Looze and Verheyen listen closely to each other, leaving space for surprise and allowing every piece to become a place of exploration. Nothing is fixed. Themes appear, disappear and return transformed. Silence becomes part of the conversation. A rhythm can suddenly loosen it's grip. A familiar melody finds another way of breathing.MiXMONK began in 2017 as a celebration of Thelonious Monk's centenary. What started as a tribute soon grew into something more enduring: a meeting of three singular musical minds, bringing together the inventive spirit of Belgian jazz with the extraordinary presence of American drum legend Joey Baron.Pianist Bram de Looze and saxophonist Robin Verheyen have each developed distinctive voices on the international jazz scene, while Joey Baron has spent decades shaping some of the most adventurous music of his generation, through collaborations with artists including John Zorn, Bill Frisell and Marc Copland.Their first two albums, MiXMONK (2019) and On The Loose (2022), established the trio's unique chemistry: playful, fearless and deeply connected.With MiXMONK Supreme, that chemistry enters new territory. It is not an answer to Coltrane. It is a continuation of the question.Coltrane is the spark. The rest is discovery.
