FALL 2026
JONATHAN SCALES FOURCHESTRA
In cooperation with Emmeci srl

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.

In Cooperation with Emmeci srl - www.emmeci.biz
Gary Husband Orbital Band
featuring
Gary Husband (drums)
(Allan Holdsworth, John McLaughlin, Jack Bruce, Robben Ford, Chick Corea, Bill Evans VansBand All Stars, Level 42, Billy Cobham)
Rocco Zifarelli (guitar)

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).

SUMMER 2027

&
The Nomads
Denmark booking: Live Nation
Line up: TBA
Chris Minh Doky - ac. & el. bass
Chris Minh Doky & The Nomads - New Beginnings.
Featuring: Randy Brecker, Antonio Sanchez, Keith Carlock, Gary Husband, Gwilym Simcock, Mino Cinelu, Ricky Peterson and many more...
Bass legend Chris Minh Doky returns to the road in 2026 with a special edition of his acclaimed trio, The Nomads—a lean, lyrical, burning, and future-facing unit rooted in the best of Europe’s next generation.
Known for his unmistakable sound and signature electric upright, Doky first burst onto the scene as a cornerstone for legends like Mike Stern, Michael Brecker, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Bireli Lagrene, and Trilok Gurtu. Since then, he has spent decades leading genre-defying bands with Dave Weckl, Keith Carlock, Mino Cinelu, Hiram Bullock, Dean Brown, and more.
Fresh off a sold-out summer tour with Robben Ford and a high-profile fall run with Till Brönner, this new tour continues his legacy: unmistakably European, boldly melodic, and always ahead of the curve.
“This is upright bass like you’ve never heard it before.”
