Saturday June 15, 7:30 PM
Like his better-known contemporaries John Scofield & Bill Frisell, Sawyer was weaned on the Beatles, the blues & ‘Bird’. You can hear it in everything he plays, a new kind of guitarspeak comprised of pop, improv and sounds never before heard. It is a language Sawyer uses with authority.” – Joe Vanderford
Scott Sawyer displays his musical diversity like a badge of honor, re-visiting his blues & rock roots while continuing to explore the jazz tradition & beyond. He’s performed at major festivals, concert halls, and beer-soaked dives here and abroad (Central America, Asia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East) including Monterey Jazz Festival, Herbst Jazz Festival, St. Lucia Jazz Festival, Playboy Jazz, 2002 Silde Jazz; Ottawa Jazz Festival; Detroit Jazz Festival, Berlin
Chamber Music Hall; Blue Note (NYC); Catalina Jazz Club (LA). He has shared the stage and/or recorded with many artists of note, including John Abercrombie, Charlie Byrd, David Murray, Marie-Christine Mouis, the 1992 Philip Morris Superband, Nnenna Freelon and Kate McGarry, to name a very few. In 1985 Sawyer toured Central America as a member of the Jon Metzger Quartet (USIA Arts America Program).
Sawyer has appeared on 45+ recordings (6 as a leader) spanning a range of genres. His latest album
“Change of Scene” was released in 2022. He teaches at the Durham Jazz Worksop.
