Children following in the foot steps of their parents

I thought this might be an interesting subject.

Who are the children of parents that are/were jazz musicians or parents that are involved in jazz music in some way or another?

Kyle Eastwood (Clint)
The Marsalis children
Anthony Wilson (Gerald)
Joshua Redman (Dewey)
Ravi Coltrane (John)

.......just to start off with.

Well, this one may be a bit of a challenge to sort out. You see, Charlie has three daughters (triplets), all of whom are musicians . . . Petra, Rachel and Tanya. His son, Josh, is also a musician.

• Petra appears to be (primarily) an idie rock violinist, though she has a duo album with Bill Frisell. I think she's Jesse's point of reference here.

• Rachel is a bassist/vocalist, so she may come the closest to following in Dad's footsteps in some ways.

• Tanya is a cellist, and was involved with her two sisters earlier.

All three have been a part of a group called, strangely, The Haden Sisters.

You have forgotten Matt Brubeck. He did follow his father and brothers. I had him as a Professor back in 1990 at San Jose State. I was in his jazz history class.
