SFJAZZ continues its 2021-2022 season this weekend with Ravi Coltrane celebrating the music of his saxophone giant father John Coltrane and his mother, spiritual jazz icon Alice Coltrane.
Coltrane would kick his habit by 1957 and begin working with iconoclastic pianist Thelonious Monk in addition to recording his first albums as a leader, including the seminal Blue Note Records effort.
By then working with his legendary quartet featuring volcanic drummer Elvin Jones and innovative pianist McCoy Tyner, Coltrane released a series of albums ranging from traditional jazz standards to more exploratory experiments like his spiritual hymnUp until his untimely death in 1967 from liver cancer at age 40, Coltrane produced an inspiring string of recordings — many that weren’t released until years after his passing — that pushed jazz into a new direction.
Recording as a leader for Impulse Records, Alice Coltrane moved from the more traditional jazz of her 1965 debutto mine similar territory as her husband with a string of cosmic/spiritual jazz releases with members of his band including saxophonist Pharaoh Sanders, drummer Rasheid Ali and bassist Jimmy Garrison as well as other jazz luminaries like bassists Ron Carter and Charlie Haden and saxophonist Joe Henderson.
Some of her religious recordings would eventually be compiled and released by the Luaka Bop label in 2017. The material featured onwould expand the audience for some of her underappreciated later work. Recent years have seen a surge of interest in both of Ravi’s parents between the 2017 documentary filmWorld andfor John Coltrane, as well as a lost live recording of “A Love Supreme” featuring his classic quartet augmented by Sanders, second bassist Donald Garrett and alto saxophonist Carlos Ward that was just issued, whileadds to Alice Coltrane’s legacy with it’s solo voice and organ recordings from the early 1980s.
