BTFW 2027: Marsalis & Reeves “Celebrate Coltrane”

“Beyond the Four Walls” series
An opportunity for us to come together in fellowship, spiritual practice, and fun!
——————————
Two icons share the stage to celebrate the legacy of one of the most illustrious voices in jazz.
Recording and performing together for the very first time, saxophonist Branford Marsalis and vocalist Dianne Reeves, both NEA Jazz Masters and multi-Grammy® Award-winners, perform music from their latest release, Dedicated to You, a tribute to John Coltrane’s groundbreaking 1963 collaboration with Johnny Hartman.
Backed by Marsalis’ longtime quartet—pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis and drummer Justin Faulkner—these legendary artists honor Coltrane’s 100th birthday with an unforgettable evening of jazz.
