Synopsis

Product Description

Son of legendary jazz greats John and Alice, Ravi Coltrane continues to strengthen his own brand with the much-anticipated follow up to his Grammy-nominated release, In Flux.

CD Reviews

Wonderful

H. Shipman | CA | 02/12/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album while having many sections that could be described as out there, has many moments that shine brightly or otherworldly. The tracks "Shine", "Episthrophy", and "For Turiya" stand out to me. Shine has many beautiful piano sections complemented by Ravi wonderful tone. Ravi does a very hip interpretation of Thelonious Monk's Episthrophy. He hits it hard with a sound resembling that of his father's middle period. He works the changes masterfully. For Turiya, brings hauntingly beautiful religious tones to this album. The mixture of the harp, Charlie Haden's bass and Ravi's tenor sax is otherworldly. This is one of the best jazz albums of 2009."

2009 Release!?

Jazz B. | 01/25/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Ravi's "2009" recording! Actually, it was recorded throughout 2006, 2007, & 2008. Still, Ravi makes a powerful statement that MUST BE HEARD! Ravi plays with only the best musicians "on the planet": Luis Perdomo, piano; Drew Gress, bass; E.J. Strickland, drums & on track 10: Charlie Haden, bass & Brandee Younger, harp.

This CD will leave you begging for more! So... check out this other CD by Ravi: Moving Pictures."

Ravi Creates His Own Music

MWS | Tavernier, FL USA | 03/02/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Ravi Coltrane is an excellent tenor saxophonist and bandleader. His quartet has matured like fine wine. After years of working together, they understand each other very well, and this quality is audibly evident in this latest recording. Coltrane's choice of the harpist, Brandee Younger and bassist, Charlie Haden on 'For Turiya' is a wonderful tribute to his beautiful mother Alice Coltrane.'One Wheeler Will' is a loving tribute to his son, William. "Blending Times" follows "In Flux" in Ravi's own tradition of creating great jazz music and belongs in the recording collection of the connoiseur."
