About this event
Jazz would not sound the same today without John Coltrane. Known for dissolving the boundaries of jazz, he could “pull listeners right out of their chairs” (Jazz Review). The Branford Marsalis Quartet and Dianne Reeves — artists with the stature and fire to meet the moment — celebrate Coltrane’s centennial with a one-of-a-kind program that highlights their own improvisational brilliance and selections from their upcoming album revisiting Coltrane’s seminal 1963 collaboration with Johnny Hartman.
