Photographer: Jimmy Katz. Being the son of the late jazz icon John Coltrane and harpist Alice Coltrane, tenor saxophonist Ravi Coltrane has quite a legacy to live up to. But the younger Coltrane isn't trying to escape his father's influence--he just wants to channel it in his own way. While his style is alternately energetic and moody post-bop, Ravi is not shy about embracing inspiration outside of mainstream jazz, such as the funk-flavored "Narcined" along with the free and spiritual strains of "For Turiya." (Jazz bass great Charlie Haden guests on the latter.) Unlike some jazz players, Ravi Coltrane also has the advantage of a long-standing band behind him, so his music as a whole has a distinctive sound.
