Just days before John Coltrane would have 
turned 100, his son, saxophonist Ravi Coltrane, presents a blazing young
 band to mark the milestone. Ravi, 60, spent the first quarter-century 
of his career acquiring a diverse array of experience and honing his own
 lustrous, harmonically slippery compositions. But in recent years he’s 
taken up the family mantle with a variety of projects and initiatives on
 and off the bandstand, championing the legacy of both his parents, John
 and Alice Coltrane.&nbsp; 
 For this celebration, he’s joined by the 
brilliant trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson, a longtime collaborator who 
graduated from Berkeley High. Israeli pianist/keyboardist Gadi Lehavi 
made his Village Vanguard debut with Ravi at 15. Now 30, he’s more than 
lived up to his enormous potential. Powering the quartet is Bay 
Area-reared drum sensation Elé Howell, 28, a supremely musical 
accompanist who gained national attention when Coltrane started hiring 
him in 2021 for various projects, including Cosmic Music: Revisiting the
 Music of John and Alice Coltrane. 
John Coltrane's presence 
continues to illuminate new directions for exploration. Join us for this
 special Centennial Celebration with Ravi Coltrane and his band.

Raven Performing Arts Theater

Free admission, but ticket required. 
Maximum 4 per person.
With a diverse repertoire and exceptional talent, the&nbsp;Commanders Jazz Ensemble&nbsp;offers far more than traditional big band music. While they honor legends like Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Glenn Miller, they seamlessly transition into cool jazz, bebop, Latin rhythms, Broadway hits, and patriotic music.
The ensemble is part of the&nbsp;United States Air Force Band of the Golden West, stationed in the San Francisco Bay Area at Travis Air Force Base, California. The only active duty Air Force band west of the Rockies, the Band of the Golden West is comprised of about 60 talented and versatile Airmen-musicians under the command of Captain Brian O’Donnell. In addition to performing for civilian communities throughout the states of California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, and Nevada, the band supports 13 Air Force Bases, 8 Air Force Reserve Wings, and 6 recruiting squadrons in over 250 annual performances for 1.5 million listeners.
The organization offers several outstanding performing groups: Concert Band, Ceremonial Marching Band, Commanders Jazz Ensemble, Mobility popular music ensemble, Travis Brass quintet, Golden West Brass ensemble, Golden West Winds woodwind quintet, Sierra Winds woodwind ensemble, Clarinet Quartet, and Galaxy popular music ensemble. Additionally, the Band of the Golden West provides solo vocalists for the performance of our National Anthem and solo buglers for Taps details.
The Band of the Golden West has performed for gubernatorial inaugurations, with guest artists such as Marvin Stamm, Arturo Sandoval and Bob Hope, and for the fans of Oakland Athletics, San Francisco Giants, Oakland Raiders, San Francisco 49ers, and Infineon NASCAR races. In the last ten years the band has led off three Tournament of Roses parades in Pasadena, CA. In 2004, the USAF Band of the Golden West was honored to support the interment ceremony of President Ronald Reagan in Simi Valley, CA, an event, viewed by a global TV audience of over 400 million. More recent events include featured performances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and Pentatonix.

Art has been a lifelong passion for Roney.Beginning her art studies at a young age, whatever avenue she was pursuing in life, she continued her artistic endeavors.After a successful career in microbiology and pharmaceutical research, a family move to Northern California enabled Roney to focus on her art.She received her MFA from Academy of Art University, San Francisco.
