John Coltrane<\/a>, one of the music\u2019s most enduring legacies arrives in Queens on May 9, when the Ravi Coltrane Quartet takes the stage at LeFrak Concert Hall.<\/p>\nBorn into jazz royalty as the son of John Coltrane and Alice Coltrane, Ravi Coltrane has spent decades honoring that lineage while steadily carving out his own voice. A Grammy-nominated artist in his own right, Coltrane brings a sound that reflects both deep-rooted tradition and a modern sense of exploration\u2014something critics have consistently recognized. As The New York Times noted, \u201cThere are few saxophonists in jazz today as silvery and deft as Ravi Coltrane.\u201d<\/p>\n
For this special performance, part of the ongoing celebration of John Coltrane\u2019s 100th birthday, Coltrane\u2019s ensemble brings together a remarkable group of collaborators, demonstrating \u201cmarvelous technical capabilities and keen musicianship,\u201d with \u201cimaginative interpretations\u201d that reflect both strength and curiosity, according to NPR.<\/p>\n
The quartet features:<\/p>\n
Ravi Coltrane \u2014 Saxophone
Matt Mitchell \u2014 Piano
Noah Garabedian \u2014 Bass
El\u00e9 Howell \u2014 Drums<\/p>\n
More than a tribute, the evening offers a living continuation of the Coltrane legacy\u2014music that doesn\u2019t simply look back, but moves forward with purpose and openness.<\/p>\n
