A Son of a Legend Performes in Germany




In the small village of Neuburg, just outside Ingolstadt, sits is a charming little jazz club called Birdland. It’s named after the famous Birdland in New York.

Ravi Coltrane, the son of the legendary jazz saxophonist, John Coltrane, performed on Friday at Birdland. After Ravi completed his first set, Matze asked if I wanted to meet him; he thought that Ravi would be delighted to talk to a fellow American of color.

Matze was right! Ravi was so open and pleasant to talk to. He was even interested in knowing why I was in Germany. The only disappointment - the battery in my camera was dead.
