Ravi Coltrane: Spirit Fiction

Read "Spirit Fiction" reviewed by Greg Simmons

by Greg Simmons
June 25, 2012

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 ...

by Troy Collins
June 22, 2012

The second son of John and Alice Coltrane, saxophonist Ravi Coltrane was born two years before his father's death in 1967.
