I'm watching this with a poster of Ravi's father directly behind my computer. They look just alike!!! cultivating your own sound while being the son of one of the most influential musicians modern music has ever seen is a testament to ravi's own indvidual artistry. ADAM ROGERS IS A BOSS.
I spoke with him years ago after an engagement. He mentioned how his mother is often overlooked. I asked him about his choice to play Giant Steps earlier that evening. At first he seemed puzzled by the question. Then he made the connection and said something very interesting. He said, first he’s a tenor player in NYC. And every tenor player in NYC must take the Steps regardless of who his or her father is. Secondly, he mentioned that while he looks a lot like an iconic man, he was raised and gained just as much musical influence from his mother.
to me, it's about the right notes at the right time.... i appreciate technique, and dexterity....but beautiful, and often unexpected notes, are what make it so magical. this guy has it. nice. very nice.
I saw Ravi at the College of Charleston a couple of years ago. This brother is an awesome talent like his parents! He played some of Alice’s previously unreleased music. What a treat!!!
This is the first time I've heard Ravi with a guitar player, other than his work as a sideman with the beyond extraordinary TIsziji Munoz, and I really think its a great fit for him.
Great set. Thank you, Ravi and NPR of course. I did notice that Ravi was holding a sopranino sax after the first song but prior to the second. Then you guys skipped to him playing the tenor sax. What's up with that NPR?
I must quibble. GO YOUNG, STAY YOUNG Y'ALL NEED THE TYKES! I'm 62 now, I listen to all SORTS of things, playing guitar & bass & steel (Anti-cuntry tho) too. I am more tham mildly bothered by "my" generation of PiggiBooms or BoomiPigs desperately trying to retain control of EVERYTHING, not just music. But in music, it is ridiculous that starting in the 80's, bands like Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, oh god, Clapton, Springsteen and retro-rerun bands like the Police & U2 (yep I said it) suck up all the money. WE are avidly trying to DESTROY younger peep's music - so callously, we don't even KNOW it. Presidential election - a 70 year old vs a 70 year old with a 74 year old lurking - WE are DOOMED if we don't bust this shit up and HAND OVER THE REINS. WE ARE OLD - WE ARE OLD... we are old.... shuffle OFF, you fucks. (except ME, you NEED me heh heh heh ) There's more great music out there than EVER - and we can take a bow for allowing that - but goddam all the big bucks stay with the old fuckers.
@@dogfacedboy6947 oh yes ! 62 here too and living in hope. The elderly once were held in reverence for their knowledge and wisdom but since that is no longer so relevant in a world that changes so fast the old still wish to be venerated and are holding on too tight

Dude I’m watching this with a poster of John Coltrane right behind me too
@@Unitz15 you gotta have one somewhere in the house!
RIP ALICE & JOHN COLTRANE MY HEROES thanks RAVI for continuing the Coltrane legacy
I wish more people recognized the talent this artist has. He is a Coltrane for god sakes!
NPR is the channel that surprises me the most with it's guests.
And now, Ravi Coltrane! This is one deep band!
AGREE. Saw him Saturday at free Detroit Jazz Festival.- posted a few videos myself on You Tube. ua-cam.com/video/FOFrRpYPizg/v-deo.html
So Kush
A combination of pure mathematics, air and soul.
Lets not forget to thank the lovely Alice Coltrane, Turiyasangitananda. Her and John Coltrane were an inspiration to this world.
Alice Coltrane composed and performed some of the most healing music on the planet. Would do a lot of folks good to listen to it right now!

tiny desk concerts is what gets me through the day.

Keeping the Legend alive .Love from Philly.

Superb Jazz !
Seen Ravi Coltrane live- years ago-
at the Jazzclub Singen (GEMS) !!
B.L.,Germany
Adam Rogers on fire 🔥 as always!
Great music. Ravi is stellar and so melodic. The guitarplayer is wonderful. And the drummer is pure wind. Solid bass.
“Pure Wind”
I love that 😊
We are soooo looking forward to seeing you and the band at Jazz Standard on the 31st.
Man he looks just like his dad. Great music. Great job NPR.
Thanks Mr.Coltrane ❤️
I love Listening to RAVI! YES!!
thanks !!
great guitarist and all!!
An absolute delight!
Saw Ravi in Abu Dhabi last night. Was beautiful
Amazing performance!
They really have a great sound and mix. A high level of maturity.
Great set! Thank You 🙏🏽
Interesting also, to see a group with only a guitarist instead of just keyboards. A lot of space. Thank you.
tremendo! pura calidad ravi coltrane quartet
So good!! Thanks NPR
wow, i'm so impressed, by everyone, especially with the guitarist! :)
When Ravi was asleep, the spirit of his dad made home in his son's body.
At Blues Alley they were beyond magnificent !!!
Excelente Ravi !!!!
Unlike many sons of famous musicians, Ravi's actually got talent. Beautiful stuff.
uuuueeeeeeeett
is amazing Adam rogers plays the guitar like a rhythm DEMON!!
Priceless✨

Beautiful !

Great, I will have to search out some of his records....
outstanding really enjoyed this.
Love him and his group....they pop up on Jazz at Lincoln Center Dizzy's Club dates, too, I believe...
What a great Timy Desk Concert! Really happy to see this group here! Thank you NPR!
He puts me in an other-worldly mood just as his father did.... Omg that tone ....
I love the melody in that first song. So good
There was no melody
amazing.
Just WOW!!! And Love Supreme...
Great to see Ravi & Band. He also sat in with The Miles Electric Band. I believe, in Poland.
It doesn't get better than this.
heard of his father ??
I think the oposite
Great Ravi!
Great Ravi Coltrane
I LOVE GOOD MUZIK!!!
My God l love these guys
Seeing him tonight!
Son of one of the greatest and truly a great himself
love it
Ravi Coltrane and his cuz Flying Lotus needta link up and make some electro space jazz asap
Gus Fisher They already have on Cosmogramma. Check out Arkestry
they're cousins you know Flylo is alice coltrane's nephew i believe
holy shit, I didn't know Ravi was on that track, knowing that makes me appreciate it even more
think he plays on cosmogramma?
Needs to link with thunder cat too
The love the love x
more jazz
The last song is written by Adam Rogers (the guitar player). It's on his album, Allegory.
Great music😋😃
Explosive🤜🏽💥
brilliant
impresionante¡
He looks so much like his father, the resemblance is uncanny
Bravo
This Ravi gives giant steps! ;)
Great set. Thank you, Ravi and NPR of course. I did notice that Ravi was holding a sopranino sax after the first song but prior to the second. Then you guys skipped to him playing the tenor sax. What's up with that NPR?
i may have wanted the bass a little louder at times but great sound
it also looks like the bassist should get a mike for his skat
This is my thought in most Tiny Desk Concerts with Double Basses.
thorebpted do you listen with headphones? The bass sounds better through those (although it may depend on your headphones of course)
It's loud enough for my ears and setup. A little more attack would have been nice, but that's just mostly a double bass specific thing
THEY NEVER MIKE THE BASS ENOUGH.
Charles Mingus knew that forever.
the issue with tiny desks is that I put them on as a background to keep working but then I have to stop working and pay attention
Go EJ !!!!
Big shout out to the guitarist
More of this
that tune phrygia is so good but I can't find it anywhere except here
I see a quartet i click like
My Goodness!!!! Whew!!!'
I can hear Elvin in the drummers playing!
❤❤
❤
He plays just like his dad......amazing performance !!!
No
No
NO. He's very good but he doesn't play just like his father.
Ravi "Coltrane"... It was his destiny to be a saxophone player...
Sting would be very interesting.
the lyrics were wicked.
So many tiny desks, so little time
So Kush
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊
the guitarist respond to anything Riva does , tht s what we call jazz . Amazing performance
that's Adam Rodgers, a beast of a player!
When the guy who's already royalty turns out to be standalone genius artist.
Standing alone from his parents, not a standalone here -- remarkably talented band.
This is beautiful. Truly. They need Wanye Shorter and or Gary Bartz up in here. That'd be the dopest shit.
Christian Reynolds all my yes,,

Anyone notice he quotes John Coltrane's tune Liberia? at 23:44 - 23.55
Outstanding player! I am wondering if he plays his fathers saxophones? Some similar tones going on?
@23:43 Repeating what his father told him :)
:(
What's sad is that John died two years after Ravi was born, so Ravi probably doesn't remember much interaction with his father. His talent is all him!
I shut my eyes and I can hear his dad's tone.............
Oh, Phrygia-phrygian, I get it! 😊
Great music!
Modal Jazz
@@Alexpunx77 yup
Coltrane
Listening to Ravi Coltrane is like being taken on the best elevator ride of your life.
Adriana Auten ua-cam.com/video/jI7RbAf4Dks/v-deo.html “elevator music” give this a listen
What a dilettante
Boy I thought that was Marcus Strickland on drums. I was like hold on lol
