About this Concert

In 1926, two monumental voices in music were born: Miles Davis and John Coltrane. A century later, their influence reverberates in a concert that’s equal parts tribute and transformation. Bringing together two of today’s most visionary artists, this once-in-a-generation collaboration continues their legacy. Saxophonist Ravi Coltrane brings a sound that is at once deeply personal and rooted in his father’s groundbreaking style, blending reverence with bold experimentation. Terence Blanchard, a boundary-pushing trumpeter and composer, draws from a lifelong engagement with Miles Davis’ fearless artistry. Together with an exceptional ensemble, they create a performance that celebrates jazz’s rich past while embracing its future.
