Terence Blanchard and Ravi Coltrane with The E-Collective

As part of the global centennial celebration of two of the most formative figures in jazz – Miles Davis and John Coltrane – two contemporary masters launch Jazz in July 2026 with a concert inspired by their musical visions.

NEA Jazz Master and eight-time Grammy-winning trumpeter, composer, and creative polymath Terence Blanchard is one of the leading voices in and beyond modern jazz. He and his groove-focused electric ensemble, The E-Collective, join forces with the brilliant saxophonist, composer – and John Coltrane’s son – Ravi Coltrane for the only NYC performance of their collaboration honoring the legacies of Miles and Trane and their indelible partnership in Davis’ First Great Quintet. Performing on the stage where John Coltrane himself gave a historic concert in February 1962, this momentous event speaks to jazz history through the voices of two of music’s most forward-looking artists.
