JONATHAN SCALES FOURCHESTRA
In cooperation with Emmeci srl
www.emmeci.biz
Line up:
Joanthan Scales - steel pans
Maison Guidry - drums
E'Lon Jordan Dunlap - el.bass
You’ve heard this before, but the whimsically named Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is really tough to describe. Veering from in-your-face, jaw dropping chops and passion, to those quiet moments when the background noise disappears and you hold your breath to take in a soundscape of solitude, the power trio of electric bass (E'Lon JD), drums (Maison Guidry), and steel pans (Jonathan Scales) combines elements of jazz, classical, and progressive rock, peppered with Latin rhythms and soulful outbursts of funk. From club and festival stages across North America and Europe, and tours of Africa, Southeast and Central Asia as a Cultural Ambassador for the US Department of State, to their NPR Tiny Desk Concert featuring Béla Fleck, the Fourchestra’s live shows make even the most jaded listeners forget where they are… even if just for a precious moment. This may seem an odd thing to say, but on the verge of releasing their eighth studio recording, Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is only now truly embracing their identity as a group. For many years, Jonathan’s live band was a fluid lineup of top-notch musicians, and even included an “all-star” version with bassist MonoNeon (Prince, Nas), drummer Sput Searight (Snarky Puppy, Snoop Dogg) and percussionist Weedie Braimah (Trombone Shorty, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah), as well as a number of other marquee players. Now, however, the Fourchestra is a decidedly indivisible band, and Jonathan is writing for the trio, not just the pans.

For the first time in 16 years the British highly acclaimed award-winning drummer/keyboardist Gary Husband is back firmly in the drum chair leading a brand new and electrifying band project of his own.
This group will perform new and old music written by Gary, additional composition from the band members as well as especially adapted cover versions of material evoking his past collaborations with artists such as Allan Holdsworth, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham, Jeff Beck, The Trackers among others.
Gary Husband is one of a rare breed of musicians in that his expression is divided equally in his capacity as a drummer and a pianist and keyboardist of international repute. His classical roots, his quest and development in the improvisational, jazz and jazz/fusion areas – not to mention his tenure in the pop, rock, funk and blues circuits – are all evident inside Gary’s distinct and far-reaching musical personality. His solo album and DVD output has also reinforced his status as a critically acclaimed writer and arranger in the contemporary music world.
For close to four decades Gary has worked alongside a vast and eclectic range of celebrated musicians including John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, Jeff Beck, Jack Bruce (Cream), Gary Moore (Thin Lizzy), Jack DeJohnette, British pop/funk band Level 42, Billy Cobham, Al Jarreau, Mike Stern (Miles Davis), John Wetton (King Crimson), Chris Squire (Yes), Bill Evans Vansband All Stars, Andy Summers (The Police), Steve Hackett (Genesis), Robin Trower (Procol Harum), and with producers Sir George Martin (Beatles), Trevor Horn (Grace Jones & Art of Noise), Sir Quincy Jones (Michael Jackson), Jerry Hey and James Guthrie (Pink Floyd).

Mike Stern - el. guitar/vocals
Bob Franceschini - sax
Chris Minh Doky- el. bass
Dennis Chambers - drums
Leni Stern - el. guitar/n'goni/vocals
In a career that spans four decades and a discography that includes more than a dozen eclectic and innovative recordings, five-time Grammy nominee Mike Stern has established himself as one of the premier jazz and jazz-fusion guitarists and on of the most esteemed electric guitarists composers of his generation. Stern’s music has always come from a colorful and diverse part of town a place where numerous artistic styles converge to create a fresh sound thats rooted in jazz but refuses to adhere to rigid borders. Since his earliest recordings, this former band mate of Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, Billy Cobham and other high-profile innovators has grafted elements of rock, blues, soul and more to his solid jazz foundations. An electrifying soloist whose blistering chops combine rock-fusion firepower with sophisticated jazz harmonies and his inherently bluesy string bending prowess, Stern has the ability to instantly elevate the proceedings on any gig or session he plays by channeling the spirits of his own personal guitar heroes Jimi Hendrix, Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall and Albert King. On Sterns street, anybody who brings a sense of energy, eclecticism and passion to the craft of music is welcome to play. Accompanied by the solid rhythm section formed by Chris MInh Doky (bass) and Dennis Chambers (drums), the concert will be a wide musical journey from rock/fusion/jazz compositions to sweet and melodic ballads where there will be space for Bob Franceschini's saxophone funk/jazz paintings and as well for the African atmospheres of Leni Stern's guitar, N'goni and vocals.
