This year marks the centennial of late jazz master John Coltrane’s birth. The saxophonist, bandleader, and composer revolutionized jazz and has long been considered one of the most influential figures in American music. Honoring his legacy, Dianne Reeves unites with the Branford Marsalis Quartet for their take on the work of Coltrane’s one and only record with a vocalist, his 1963 collaboration with baritone Johnny Hartman. Marsalis, an acclaimed saxophonist and composer, and Reeves, “the most admired jazz diva since the heyday of Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday” (The New York Times), return to The Soraya following the anticipated release of their Coltrane tribute album on Blue Note Records.
