	Ravi Coltrane Biography - AOL Music
		Saxophonist Ravi Coltrane is the son of John and Alice Coltrane.
		Coltrane's tone on tenor (he plays some soprano too) is more reminiscent of Joe Henderson's -- though his father's 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.

		Coltrane the elder was noted for a soloing style famously described as "sheets of sound" for its complex layering and barrage of notes.
		Ravi Coltrane was two years old when his father passed away from liver cancer in 1967, and for many years he leaned more toward the funk, soul, RandB and pop that was popular for a kid growing up in California during the '70s.
		Coltrane's music is usually categorized as straight-ahead jazz, but his work as a composer and soloist pushes the boundaries of that assertion.

	CD Review of Ravi Coltrane - In Flux on Savoy @ jazzreview.com
		But the most impressive thing about Ravi Coltrane is how successful he has been at developing his own identity as a jazz saxophonist in spite of having grown up in the shadow of his father, one of the most important (and respected) figures in the history of jazz.
		Ravi was born in 1965 and his father passed away in 1967 (from liver cancer), so their time together on this earth was brief.
		But the spirit of John Coltrane continues to live in the hearts and minds of jazz fans the world over, so I’m sure that when Ravi made the decision to pursue a career as a jazz saxophonist, the pressure to measure up to his famous father was intense, to say the least.

		Coltrane’s goal was to balance, “compositional and melodic driven free jazz,”; for the pure spontaneity and free form energy of “Variations 3” before easing into Drew Gress’ calm, floating ballad “Away,” which is one of the saxman’s favorite tunes on the album.
		Coltrane plays an ongoing role as family archivist of his father’s unreleased material and is working on future releases.
		Ravi Coltrane’s RKM Music is a web-based independent label specializing in documenting and distributing music from the American improvised music tradition.

		Coltrane is the son of John Coltrane, who is widely regarded as the greatest jazz saxophonist who ever lived.
		Coltrane's favorite tune on In Flux is not one of his own; it's "Away," a ballad composed by his bassist, Drew Gress.
		Coltrane has been surrounded by music all his life, but the urge to become a musician didn't fully develop until he was 20.

		One is the son of a jazz legend and an excellent musician in his own right; the other two guided modern jazz through some of its most formative stages, most notably Roach and the hard bop he pioneered with trumpeter Clifford Brown.
		The younger Coltrane will, one suspects, inevitably be subject to critical comparisons to his father, who died when Ravi was just two years old.
		Ravi's own tunes -- there are four here, twice the amount found on From the Round Box (2000) -- attest to a growing creative desire coupled with a distinct knack for composition.

		The second of three Coltrane sons, 32-year-old Ravi may share the name and even the face of the father, but hissound is purposely more diverse, jumping in tone from fury to something warmer and rounder but not quite as textural.
		More than once in his career, Ravi has been called"the secular Coltrane." His life is a study of jazz wealth — lessons from Charlie Haden, playing with dad's drummer Elvin Jones — and pride in the dynamics of sweet self-perfection.
		So while Ravi can hold down a tenor ballad with the best of 'em, don't expect to hear "Misty." And with that irreverence, Ravi Coltrane is home again.

		The tune was John Coltrane's “Impressions” and the players were John's widow, Alice, on keyboards; the couple's son, Ravi Coltrane, on saxophone; Charlie Haden on bass and Roy Haynes on drums.
		Alice Coltrane has recorded “Sita Ram” on several occasions, most recently on 2004's "Translinear Light." At the Masonic, she used the Middle Eastern-influenced song as a showcase for her impressive hand speed as Haden and Haynes worked a seductive groove.
		Alice Coltrane took control during the last song of the second set, her late husband's “Leo,” as she produced a relentless cacophony of sounds on the organ that ranged from wailing sirens to fingernails screeching down the flboard.

	Young Mr. Coltrane
		That’s the first question I put to Ravi Coltrane last week as we talked about his life, music career and his concert Saturday night at the Roper Center for the Performing Arts as part of this year’s Jazz Norfolk festival.
		But Ravi was only two years old when his father passed away in 1967, so his dad was not a physical presence in his childhood.
		Ravi Coltrane played clarinet in his junior high school band, but at that point looked on music as a “casual thing.” It was the death of his brother, John Coltrane, Jr., that ultimately led him to a deeper connection to his father’s music and vocation.

	Music: Son Settings (The Boston Phoenix . 04-20-98)
		The Ravi Coltrane Quintet's performance at Scullers last Wednesday night was such a rag-tag mess that I had to refer to their new album just to make sure my first impressions hadn't been deranged.
		Nope, it was all there, all the stuff that I'd fallen in love with in the first place: the sharp counterpoint between tenor-saxophonist Coltrane (yes, John's son) and trumpeter Ralph Alessi, the delicate comping and astute solo work by pianist Michael Cain, the compositional balance of each piece.
		Coltrane and Alessi operated pretty much free of chord changes, and though Hass was impressively busy, he never covered the bottom.

		Practically everybody will expect him to carry on "the Coltrane legacy" (whatever that is) without asking him if that was a burden he wanted.
		On several tracks the percussion group Ancient Vibrations is added, and Ravi plays introspectively against their pulsations, sometimes helped by the trumpet of Ralph Alessi.
		Ravi also does well on two numbers where he is the only horn.

	Amazon.com: Mad 6: Music: Ravi Coltrane (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Bracketed by two lesser-played tunes by his legendary father, John Coltrane, the album could have done without yet another version of Monk's "Round Midnight." But with Ravi whizzing through the changes on soprano over Steve Hass' gutbucket drumming, it's a nifty remake by an artist who seems incapable of taking anything at face value.
		And Ravi Coltrane seems to have taken the prudent path toward jazz immortality: He hasn't over-recorded; he hasn't gotten caught up in all the hype of who's the next tenor monster; he's kept a relatively low profile.
		This is Ravi Coltrane's third disc as a leader; the good news is that his tenor playing continues to grow in authority, and that he's worked out his own intelligent take on the M-BASE style of smart, off-kilter rhythms (cf.

		By this time Coltrane was living in California and it was not until he was 20 that he resumed playing.
		In addition to soprano, Coltrane also plays tenor but has not really followed in his father's footsteps, other than in the manner in which most post-John Coltrane tenor saxophonists owe some stylistic debt.
		Inevitably, Coltrane has had to work hard to avoid being typecast and during the late 90s and early 00s as he made his own-name recording debut, he was showing clear signs of having overcome the burden of bearing a great jazz name and had begun to find his own place in the music.
