About COUNTDOWN 2026 COLTRANE FESTIVAL II: Ravi Coltrane Quintet

COUNTDOWN 2026 COLTRANE FESTIVAL II: Ravi Coltrane Quintet is a New York City-based working ensemble led by tenor saxophonist Ravi Coltrane, presented at Smoke Jazz & Supper Club as part of the Countdown 2026 Coltrane Festival II. The group pairs him with trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson, guitarist Adam Rogers, bassist Chris Lightcap, and drummer Elé Howell. Their sets move between composed material and open improvisation, with attention to ensemble balance and line. The music favors clarity and conversation over spectacle.
