艺人介绍

Saxophonist Ravi Coltrane is the son of John and Alice Coltrane. John Coltrane passed away when Ravi was two. While he had a musical upbringing by his mother and began playing fairly early, he did not commence a jazz vocation until he was in his early twenties. Coltrane was able to hone his chops playing with Elvin Jones group before meeting Steve Coleman and Graham Haynes. Coltrane became a member of the M-Base consortium of artists and singed to RCA in 1997 (which lists Coleman on its roster as well). Coleman produced and guested on Ravis first recording, Moving Pictures (1998), as did trumpeter Ralph Alessi. The critical comparisons were inevitable, but Coltrane seemed to see this coming before he ever recorded a note. Coltranes tone on tenor (he plays some soprano too) is more reminiscent of Joe Hendersons — though his fathers sound is slightly evident — and in covering Inner Urge on his debut, he made it impossible to deny. Coltrane recorded a second album in 2000, From the Round Box, that was received even more warmly than his debut and featured contributions from Alessi again and pianist Geri Allen. He covered Thelonious Monk, Ornette Coleman, and Wayne Shorter while adding a pair of his own tunes. His fathers influence is a bit more evident here, but, nonetheless, Coltrane proved he was working his sound out for himself. Coltrane has also been featured on the compilation the New Young Lions of Jazz on the Arkadia label in duet with pianist Joanne Brackeen.
