"London's go-to concert venue for high-grade international jazz in friendly and comfortable surroundings, the Barbican Centre is no stranger to celebrations of the music of Alice Coltrane and John Coltrane...Alice and John's son Ravi Coltrane's performance at the Barbican was equally singular...On tenor and sopranino saxophones, Coltrane led a high-octane quartet...The band is dynamite...If the quartet performs with the same passion as they did at the Barbican, these will be nights to remember, too," states ALL ABOUT JAZZ.
