    SCOTT HENDERSON TRIO (USA/F) feat. Romain Labaye (bass) & Archibald Ligonnière (drums) - Jazz-Fusion Powertrio - live @ Mainz, Mitternacht 8 So. 28. Mai 2017, 20:00 Infos & Karten => www.jazz-mainz.de/Scotty.html Scott Henderson (guitar) Romain Labaye (bass) Archibald Ligonnière (drums) SCOTT HENDERSON (guitar) Born in 1954, Scott Henderson grew up in an era where blues-rock was at it's peak. His formative musical years took place in South Florida where he played the clubs with various bands, playing everything from Led Zeppelin to James Brown. As he was learning his instrument, Henderson was influenced by Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore, and his favorite blues guitarist Albert King. Even though Henderson claims to be more of a blues-rock player, it was the influence of jazz that led him to the style of playing and composing that he is now famous for. Scott studied arranging and composition at Florida Atlantic University, then moved to Los Angeles in 1980. He toured and recorded with Chick Corea's Elektric Band, violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, and was pleased to get the opportunity to work for four years with one of his favorite musicians, Weather Report's Joe Zawinul. He recorded two albums with the Zawinul Syndicate, "The Immigrants" and "Black Water". Henderson formed the legendary band Tribal Tech in 1984 with bassist Gary Willis, and recorded ten critically acclaimed albums. The most recent recording is "Tribal Tech X" released in March 2012. In 1991, Scott was named by Guitar World as the #1 Jazz Guitarist, and in January 1992, he was named #1 Jazz Guitarist in Guitar Player's Annual Reader's Poll.

With an additional gift, Mrs. Coolidge financed the construction of the Coolidge Auditorium which has become world famous for its magnificent acoustics and for the caliber of artists and ensembles who have played there. The McKiM FUND in the Library of Congress was created in 1970 through a bequest of Mrs. W. Duncan McKim, concert violinist, who won international prominence under her maiden name, Leonora Jackson, to support the commissioning and performance of chamber music for violin and piano. The audiovisual recording equipment in the Coolidge Auditorium was endowed in part by the Ira and Leonore Gershwin Fund in the Library of Congress. Request ASL and ADA accommodations five days in advance of the concert at 202-707-6362 [email protected]. Due to the Library's security procedures, patrons are strongly urged to arrive thirty min- utes before the start of the concert.

    Solos and Duos Series Glenn Siegel, Program Director 15 Curry Hicks, 100 Hicks Way (413) 545-2876 University of Massachusetts [email protected] Amherst, MA 01003 www.fineartscenter.com THE 2008 SOLOS & DUOS SERIES PRESENTS: Dave Douglas/Marcus Rojas Duo The Solos & Duos Series, produced by the Fine Arts Center at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, concludes its 7th season with a duo concert by trumpeter Dave Douglas and tuba player Marcus Rojas on Thursday, November 20, in Bezanson Recital Hall at 8:00pm. Dave Douglas is widely recognized as one of the most important and original American musicians to emerge from the jazz and improvised music scene of the last decade. His collaborations as a trumpeter read like a who's who of important contemporary artists: John Zorn, Joe Lovano, Bill Frisell, Don Byron, Steve Lacy, Anthony Braxton, Myra Melford, Andy Bey, Trisha Brown, Henry Grimes, Tom Waits, Rabih Abou-Khalil, DJ Olive, Ikue Mori, Han Bennink, Misha Mengelberg, Uri Caine, Roswell Rudd, Andrew Cyrille, Marc Ribot, Karsh Kale, Mark Dresser, Marty Ehrlich, and many others. For the past half decade Dave Douglas has repeatedly been named trumpeter, composer, and jazz artist of the year by such organizations as the New York Jazz Awards, Down Beat, Jazz Times, and Jazziz. Dave Douglas is “an original thinker blessed with a seemingly bottomless well of intriguing ideas,” writes Howard Reich. Since 1993, Douglas has released 21 albums of original music, and has appeared on over one hundred recordings. His 2000 album “Soul on Soul”, was voted “Album of the Year” by DownBeat.
