Branford Marsalis & Dianne Reeves Celebrate John Coltrane

He is “A beguiling saxophonist.” – Los Angeles Times. She is “A jazz vocal phenomenon.” – The Guardian. Together they are making magic.Renowned saxophonist Branford Marsalis is a versatile performer, equally at home playing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead. His main focus lies with the Branford Marsalis Quartet, a celebrated ensemble that, in the words of reviewer John Zeugner, is “casually confident...cerebral, and supercharged with energy.”At UtahPresents, the Branford Marsalis Quartet is joined by Diane Reeves, the most prominent vocalist in jazz today. Reeves is best known for her improvisational skill and her one-of-a-kind R&B and jazz stylings. She made Grammy history by being the first vocal artist to win a Grammy award on three consecutive recordings. Both Marsalis and Reeves have been designated as Jazz Masters by The National Endowment for the Arts, the highest honor the United States bestows on jazz artists. Together, they honor the lasting legacy of jazz legend John Coltrane with a concert revisiting Coltrane’s iconic collaboration with Johnny Hartman.This calendar listing is brought to you by NowPlayingUtah.com, Utah's one-stop, online website for arts and entertainment events, powered by the Utah Cultural Alliance.
