For Turiya Trio Auditorium Giovanni Arvedi Cremona 16.04.2016 Un contrabbasso che parte sottovoce per aumentare gradualmente di intensità, gocce di rugiada che arrivano da delicate escursioni sulle corde dell'arpa ed il sax tenore che entra in sordina per poi abbandonarsi ad un viaggio che profuma di misticismo e di spiritualità, dove la pulsazione dell'anima sostituisce quella della batteria assente. Inizia così, con intensità e profonde emozioni, l'edizione 2016 di Cremona Jazz, rassegna ospitata in quel ...

Ravi Coltrane Quartet Bailey Hall @ Cornell University Cornell Concert Series March 20, 2015 With chromatism in his very chromosomes, saxophonist Ravi Coltrane has managed to cut a profile distinct from that of Father John.

by Greg Simmons
It's easy to imagine the double-takes that must have occurred when introductions were being made around New York in the early 1990s. “What'd you say your last name is, son?" Let's face it, if you're walking around with the name of a God, your last name is Coltrane and your first name is not John, and you're going to play the tenor saxophone, same as your old man, people are going to want to know what that's all about.
