About this concert
A true allstar quartet arrives at Jazz Standard this week, recording both nights for a future live album release. Jon Cowherd has performed with the Village Vanguard Jazz Orchestra and with singers Carla Cook and Lizz Wright; his debut album Mercy featured the talents of guitarist Bill Frisell, bassist John Patitucci, and the ubiquitous Brian Blade on drums. The lastnamed will need no introduction to Jazz Standard regulars: Hes appeared on our stage as both sideman and leader in multiple configurations. A longtime member of the Wayne Shorter Quartet, Brian has worked with everyone from Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan to Joshua Redman and Herbie Hancock and lets not forget his great co-operative groups like Brian Blade Fellowship. Steve Cardenas has enjoyed extended tenures with the Paul Motian Electric Bebop Band, Charlie Hadens Liberation Music Orchestra, and Joey Barons Killer Joey. His most recent recording as a leader, Charlie s many credits include Bill Frisell, Norah Jones, the Lounge Lizards, and Sex Mob; hes released two albums of his own, Come Around and Twist In The Wind.Jon Cowherd pianoSteve Cardenas guitarTony Scher bassBrian Blade drums
