Grammy Winner and three-time Down Beat Musician & Tenor Saxophone Player of the year, Joe Lovano has established himself as a world-class jazz musician, composer and teacher.
Taking on what defines the jazz idiom, Blue Note artist Lovano has been “mixing it up” since his debut album in 1991. From playing in the John Scofield Quartet to performing with a list of artists that includes Joshua Redman, Christian McBride, Dave Holland, Gonzalo Rubalcaba and others, Lovano has put out an eclectic mix of albums, including Streams of Expression, Joyous Encounter, and many others on Blue Note records.
"A master of his Promethean craft, the tenor saxophonist strikes a balance between passion and intellect... a sublimely confident player with provocative musical ideas and the vigor to bring them crying forth.”
Steve Dollar, Atlanta Journal
Lovano brings his Quartet to Staller Center for the first time and it is sure to be an electrifying evening of pure jazz!
