Ravi Coltrane Centennial Celebration

In honor of his father’s legacy, saxophonist Ravi Coltrane presents a two‑week centennial celebration that showcases his own modern voice alongside a rotating rhythm section. The first half (Oct 13‑15) features pianist David Virelles, bassist Dezron Douglas, and drummer Johnathan Blake; the second half (Oct 16‑18) adds trumpeter Johnathan Finlayson, pianist Gadi Lehavi, and drummer Anwar Marshall. The Vanguard’s historic setting provides a reverent backdrop for this multigenerational tribute, allowing listeners to hear the evolution of the Coltrane lineage in close proximity. Fans of post‑bop and avant‑garde jazz will find the program both nostalgic and forward‑looking.
