Balboa Theatre
868 Fourth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101

In a once-in-a-generation collaboration, saxophonist and composer Ravi Coltrane and trumpeter and composer Terence Blanchard will perform the music of Miles Davis and John Coltrane in a very limited number of live appearances. The tour is as much about the current legacy of jazz and its future over the next 100 years as it is a tribute to the past century of this art form, with reimagined tunes by both Miles Davis and John Coltrane.
