Da Camera: Ravi Coltrane Quartet Back by popular demand! “Somehow there is no disputing heredity,” noted jazzpolice.com, “yet there also is no doubt that this Coltrane has taken his own Giant Steps. Genius here extends across generations, the son’s path informed, not confined, by the name Coltrane.” The son of legendary saxophonist John Coltrane and pianist Alice Coltrane, Ravi Coltrane is an acclaimed saxophonist, composer, bandleader and producer. His CD In Flux was nominated for a Grammy Award. Since his first appearance on the Da Camera series in 2008, Ravi Coltrane has released the acclaimed Blending Times and signed with Blue Note Records. His first Blue Note recording is scheduled for release in the spring of 2011. “Blending Times is Ravi’s most emotionally charged, fully realized statement to date.”-- JazzTimes Da Camera Jazz is sponsored by Whole Foods Market. The Da Camera Jazz series also includes: Terence Blanchard and Poncho Sanchez, Russell Malone Trio, Maurice Brown Effect, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Tia Fuller.
