Ravi Coltrane: Blending Times
by Mark F. Turner
Saxophonist Ravi Coltrane stands in the legacy of not one, but two great influences: his honored father, John Coltrane, one of the most influential musicians in jazz, and his mother, Alice Coltrane, a superb musician and spiritual guide whose untimely passing in January 17, 2007 left a void that will not be easily filled.

Ravi Coltrane: In Flux
by Germein Linares
Ravi Coltrane's fourth studio release, In Flux, is what he calls “by far the strongest work I've done to date."

Ravi Coltrane: In Flux
by Michael A. Edwards
