Event Information:
Hailed by The New York Times as one of the greatest musicians in jazz history, Grammy Award winning saxophone titan Joe Lovano has distinguished himself as a prescient and pathfinding force in the arena of creative music.JOE LOVANOS PARAMOUNT QUARTET ft. JULIAN LAGE, ASANTE SANTI DEBRIANO, WILL CALHOUNGrammy Award winning titan of jazz saxophone Joe Lovano and virtuoso guitarist Julian Lage have enjoyed a long journey of mutual artistic admiration. They first met in 1999 at Yoshis in Oakland, where Joe was performing with McCoy Tyner. Then a child prodigy, Julians father brought him to the show and it was there he connected with Joe. They kept in touch through the years even performing together at a private event then reuniting at Berklee College of Music. Ive always found him a natural, beautiful, expressive musician with maturity beyond his years, Joe says of Julian, He is someone I always knew I would collaborate with at some point and Im so happy to have his contributions within the Paramount Quartet.Longtime Lovano collaborator Asante Santi Debriano, who first performed with Joe in the Archie Shepp Quartet in the 1980s, joins on bass. Drummer Will Calhoun (of Living Colour fame) called Joe to perform with him and Santi in a fundraiser last year for the Puerto Rican Relief Fund after the devastating hurricane. That explosive, creative set was the springboard leading to the idea of adding Julian and forming this new band, which debuted at the legendary Village Vanguard in February 2024.Artwork by Alex Gilbeaux.
