Three-time Grammy winner Branford Marsalis and five-time Grammy winner Dianne Reeves have joined forces to celebrate what would have been John Coltrane's 100^(th) birthday. They present a new programme that revives the legendary dialogue between saxophone and vocals from Coltrane's classic 1963 album with singer Johnny Hartman. In their own unique way, Reeves and Marsalis pay tribute to this groundbreaking collaboration by combining the gentle sound of the saxophone with the human voice in standards such as 'They Say It's Wonderful' and 'Lush Life'.
