John Coltrane’s achievements as a jazz saxophonist cast a spell of influence so vast that it reaches from President Clinton to the Byrds — although one of the people he impacted most undoubtedly is his son, Ravi, who’s following in his father’s footsteps on sax. Tonight at 7:30, the Coltrane fils demonstrates his inherited talent and carefully honed craft at the BlackRock Center for the Arts (12901 Town Commons Drive, Germantown). Tickets are $25 to $33. 301/528-2260. www.blackrockcenter.org.
