Coltrane will be joined by drummer Johnathan Blake (the son of acclaimed violinist John Blake, Jr.), bassist Dezron Douglas, and pianist Glenn Zaleski.

“The Casa Jazz Club consists of high caliber musicians who have garnered international recognition for their talent,” says Executive Director Berenika Palys. “We are ecstatic to have the Orange County community enjoy headliners from major festival’s headliners, right within Casa Romantica’s Main Salon.”

Drummer Nasheet Waits is the torchbearer of today’s most energetic, sophisticated jazz rhythms. He is the son of celebrated percussionist Freddie Waits, who led the rhythm section for Ella Fitzgerald, Sonny Rollins, and Max Roach. The trio is rounded out by Bennie Maupin, a heavyweight multi-reedist whose sound first pierced the air in Miles Davis’ seminal album Bitches Brew, and Eric Revis, a GRAMMY award-winning bassist.
