Ravi Coltrane
Soloist

Ravi Coltrane is a critically acclaimed GRAMMY-nominated saxophonist, bandleader, and composer. In the course of a 30-year career, he has worked as a sideman to many, and recorded noteworthy albums for himself and others. He has released six albums as a leader. His albums include Moving Pictures, From the Round Box, Mad 6, In Flux, Blending Times, and Spirit Fiction. He also has collaborated on various albums, including Seraphic Light with Joe Lovano and David Liebman, In Movement with Jack DeJohnette and Matthew Garrison, and the Blue Note’s 70th Anniversary recording, Mosaic: A Celebration of Blue Note.

Born on Long Island, the second son of John and Alice Coltrane, Mr. Coltrane was named after Indian sitar legend Ravi Shankar. He was raised in Los Angeles where his family moved after his father’s death in 1967. His mother was a significant influence on him, and it was he who encouraged Alice to return to performance and the recording studio after a long absence. Subsequently, he produced and played on Alice’s powerful Translinear Light, which was released in 2004.


Mr. Coltrane lives in Brooklyn, New York, and maintains a fast-paced touring, recording, composing, and performance schedule. He leads the effort to restore the John Coltrane Home in Dix Hills, Long Island, www.thecoltranehome.org, and presides over important reissues of his parents’s recordings.
