BRANFORD MARSALIS & DIANNE REEVES CELEBRATE JOHN COLTRANE
In celebration of the centennial of John Coltrane’s birth, NEA Jazz Masters and multiple Grammy Award winners, Branford Marsalis and Dianne Reeves come together to celebrate one of the most influential jazz musicians of all time with an unforgettable collaboration.
These two remarkable American jazz artists pay tribute to the great John Coltrane with a new album and a world tour that brings them to Zagreb. Reeves, one of the most distinguished jazz vocalists in the world, joins the versatile Branford Marsalis Quartet in a musical celebration inspired by the landmark 1963 recording of saxophone master John Coltrane and one of the richest baritones in jazz, singer Johnny Hartman.
Branford Marsalis is one of the most influential and highly respected contemporary musicians. This jazz master, three-time Grammy Award winner and Tony and Emmy Award nominee, is equally at home performing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead, but the core of his musical universe remains the Branford Marsalis Quartet. After more than three decades of existence with minimal personnel changes, this celebrated ensemble is revered for its uncompromising interpretation of a kaleidoscopic range of both original compositions and jazz and popular classics. After receiving Grammy nominations on its last two albums, Upward Spiral and The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul, the Quartet made its Blue Note Records debut in 2025 with the release of Belonging, a full album interpretation of Keith Jarrett's 1974 ECM album of the same name.
Five-time Grammy winner Dianne Reeves is the world’s pre-eminent jazz vocalist. As a result of her virtuosity, improvisational prowess and unique jazz and R&B stylings, Reeves received the Grammy for “Best Jazz Vocal Performance” for three consecutive recordings — a Grammy first in any vocal category. Reeves was featured in George Clooney’s award winning film Goodnight and Good Luck, for which she received a Grammy. Her most recent release, Beautiful Life, features Gregory Porter, Robert Glasper, Lalah Hathaway and Esperanza Spalding. Produced by Terri Lyne Carrington, Beautiful Life also won a Grammy. Reeves has received honorary doctorates from DePaul University, the Berklee College of Music and The Juilliard School, and like Branford, she was designated a Jazz Master by The National Endowment for the Arts — the highest honor the United States bestows on jazz artists. Apart from a duo recording with Romero Lubambo slated for early 2026, her collaboration with the Branford Marsalis Quartet will be Reeves’ first album in twelve years.
