Celebrating Geri Allen With Ravi Coltrane, Dave Holland And Terri Lyne Carrington at Healdsburg Jazz Festival at Raven Performing Arts Theater

About

Pianist Geri Allen passed away last summer at the tender age of 60. She left a big void, but also a legacy. Geri was set to return to the festival this summer in a concert with saxophonist Ravi Coltrane. Now, Ravi will perform a tribute to her with the peerless bassist Dave Holland and genre-bending drummer Terri Lyne Carrington - both veterans of Geri’s past bands. To these people Geri Allen was a guide, a follower, and a sister. To them, and to this festival, she will always be alive. The opening band will be the winner of the 2018 Student Jazz Combo Competition.
