As part of Miles Davis' "second great quintet" Hancock helped redefine the role of a jazz rhythm section...
Singer/guitarist Bonnie Raitt did not begin to win the comparable commercial success due her until the release of the aptly titled 1989 blockbuster Nick of Time. Her tenth album, it rocketed her into the mainstream consciousness nearly two decades after she first committed her unique blend of blues, rock, and R&B to vinyl. More than just a best-selling artist, respected guitarist, expressive singer, and accomplished songwriter, Bonnie Raitt has become an institution in pop rock music with 16 albums and nine Grammy Awards.
The world's top-selling instrumental artist Chris Botti has charm and talent in spades; the Italian American contemporary jazz trumpeter breathes new life into a range of different genres from American songbook standards to bebop classics by the likes of Miles Davis. Botti is not only a highly skilled musician but a consummate entertainer, with a gleam in his eye his onstage banter calls to mind the performers of jazz's golden age.
Andr 3000, renowned for his infectious hip-hop style as part of Outkast, took a bold artistic turn in 2023 with the release of his debut solo album "New Blue Sun.". Moving away from groovy beats and emotional wordplay, Andre released an entirely instrumental album (featuring lots of flutes). Andre 3000 will be bringing the New Blue Sun to life with Carlos Nio, Nate Mercereau, Surya Botofasina, and Deantoni Parks.
The music of King Crimson is celebrated by a group of musicians that are less "tribute band" more "supergroup"! Legendary guitarist Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danney Carey join former King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin to tour a show performing the best bits from the legendary prog-rockers' three 1980s entries, Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair... plus potentially a few surprises!
Legendary jazz pianist Herbie Hancock is considered to be one of the most innovative jazz musicians of all time. The early days of his journey as an artist saw him redefine the term 'rhythm section' in the Miles Davis Quintet, widely regarded as one of the finest jazz ensembles to ever grace the stage and thereafter his mounting collaborations and solo works tracked the evolution of a breathtakingly original and pioneering style
