Experience Ravi Coltrane live on September 6th

Ravi Coltrane will perform at the John Coltrane International Jazz & Blues Festival in High Point, North Carolina on September 6, 2026. Ravi Coltrane is a saxophonist known for a style deeply rooted in the post-bop tradition, yet distinctly his own.

He frequently explores extended techniques and a dynamic range encompassing both lyrical phrasing and intense, energetic solos.
