Marsalis and Abercrombie Double Bill Headlines the 2009 Edmonton International Jazz Festival
Leader of the Branford Marsalis Quartet, a group at the forefront of jazz today, world-renowned saxophonist Branford Marsalis is a three-time Grammy Award winner and man of many musical interests, from jazz, blues and funk to classical music projects. Born in 1960, the New Orleans native is a member of one of North America’s most distinguished musical families, which includes his father, pianist and educator Ellis, and Branford’s siblings Wynton, Delfeayo and Jason. Branford’s 2009 release, Metamorphosen, marks the 10th anniversary of his quartet and features pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis and drummer Jeff “Tain” Watts, with Marsalis on tenor, soprano and alto saxophones. The album comprises original compositions by all four members in a variety of moods.
The John Abercrombie Organ Trio showcases innovative fusion guitar music with American-born artist John Abercrombie at the helm. Abercrombie has developed a unique sound as a jazz guitarist, combining evolving technologies with classic jazz standards. His highly distinctive compositions marrying tradition and innovation can best be described as contemporary multi-linear chamber jazz.
