Ravi Coltrane Quartet January 18, 2012

GRAMMY-nominated saxophonist, Ravi Coltrane, son of legendary saxophonist John Coltrane, has matured into a compelling artist at the height of a career built on his talent, not his name. He is achieving what he calls his goal and aspiration: “to acknowledge with love my influences” (including his father) but to follow his own path, “to make music that is relevant to my present-day experience.” Appearing with his longtime quartet, Coltrane is what one critic calls a “daring spirit” and “a composer-bandleader of distinction.”

“(Coltrane) has become a formidable presence, as he established throughout a heaven-storming set…” – The Chicago Tribune

Two sets starting at 7:30 and 9:30 nightly.
