Biography

Ravi Coltrane is the son of the legendary tenor saxophonist John Coltrane and jazz pianist Alice Coltrane, raised in Los Angeles, California, and was named after the great sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar. John Coltrane died when Ravi was two. In 1986, he studied music, focusing on the saxophone at the California Institute of the Arts. Ravi has worked extensively with M-Base guru Steve Coleman, a significant influence on Ravi's own musical conception. Coltrane has played with Geri Allen, Kenny Barron, McCoy Tyner, Pharoah Sanders, Herbie Hancock, Carlos Santana, Stanley Clarke, Branford Marsalis and others.

In 1997, after performing on over thirty recordings as a sideman, Ravi entered the studio to record his first album as leader "Moving Pictures", working with drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts, bassist Lonnie Plaxico and pianist Michael Cain. This led to extensive touring with his working featuring Andy Milne on piano, drummer Steve Hass, and bassist Lonnie Plaxico.His second disc, "From the Round Box" (2000), finds Coltrane in the company of pianist Geri Allen, trumpeter Ralph Alessi, bassist James Genus, and drummer Eric Harland. Followed by "Mad 6" his first release for Sony music, featuring drummer Steve Hass, pianist George Colligan, and bassist James Genus. (2002) and "In Flux" (2005) he has been working with bassist Drew Gress, pianist Luis Perdomo, and drummer E.J. Strickland.

In January 2005, Ravi Coltrane performed in India for the first time, as part of a delegation of American jazz musicians sent on a State Department tour to promote HIV/AIDS awareness. Also participating in the tour were vocalist Al Jarreau, guitarist Earl Klugh, and pianist George Duke. Performances included a January 16 concert in Mumbai (Bombay), a tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. in Delhi on January 17, and a music festival in Delhi on January 18 organized by violinist L. Subramaniam. Also on January 18, Ravi Coltrane stopped to visit and perform at the Ravi Shankar Centre, where Coltrane met with the man he was named after. Then picking up a clarinet to engage in an unplanned jam session with a pair of shehnai players, Coltrane said, "I'm a little nervous with the master here." [Lavezzoli, Peter. "The Dawn of Indian Music in the West", Continuum International Publishing Group, page 293, (2006) - ISBN 0826418155] The Coltrane Quartet has played at the legendary Monterey Jazz Festival 2001, Montreux Jazz Festival 2004, Newport Jazz Festival 2004, and Vienne Jazz Festival 2005, to name a few.
