Terence Blanchard & Ravi Coltrane

Terence Blanchard and Ravi Coltrane, two leading figures in contemporary jazz, join forces for a special concert celebrating the centennial of the births of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. The year 2026 marks 100 years since the birth of these two revolutionary jazz icons, and this performance is conceived not as a nostalgic reenactment but as a reimagining that honors their legacy while remaining rooted in the present. Blanchard, a Grammy-winning trumpeter and composer whose own work has been deeply shaped by Miles Davis’s innovation, and Coltrane, saxophonist and son of John Coltrane, channel the creativity, freedom, and spirit of experimentation that defined Davis and Coltrane’s artistry. The concert embraces improvisation, invention, and emotional intensity, allowing the music to evolve in the moment throughout the evening. They are joined by a stellar ensemble featuring Charles Altura on guitar, Tom Oren on keyboard, David Ginyard on bass guitar, and Jaylen Petinaud on drums.
