Événement
David Murray Quartet
Since he arrived in NY in 1975, David Murray established himself as one of the prominent saxophone players and leaders of jazz. He has released over 200 albums under his own name, working with the likes of Max Roach, Randy Weston, Pharoah Sanders, McCoy Tyner, Taj Mahal, Mal Waldron, Amiri Baraka, Jerry Garcia, Doudou Ndaye Rose, Cassandra Wilson, Jason Moran, Macy Gray, Omara Portuando, Saul Williams, Vijay Iyer, Quest Love, Black Thought, and Gregory Porter, to name a few. He is also a founding member of the groundbreaking World Saxophone Quartet which toured and recorded for 40 years. As well as being a well-known bandleader, he is a noteworthy composer and arranger providing memorable melodies and harmonies. His approach to improvisation is instantly recognizable. Even in its freest flights, he acknowledges the gravity of a tradition he honors more than most, combining all the influences he grew out of: gospel, jazz, free/avant-garde jazz, rhythm n blues, R&B and, in his associations with writers, poetry. The great Cecil Taylor compared him to his greatest predecessors who had signature sounds: You stick your ear in the door, you know its David! His most recent quartet (Marta Sanchez (piano), Luke Stewart (bass) and Russell Carter (drums), the group thats performing for us) released Francesca in May 2024. The critics unanimously agree that he is at the top of his game! At the height of his compositional prowess (Jazzwisemagazine). Murrays art celebrates the magic of the hook, the deep grove (Marlbank). Murrays tenor is at its most monumental (Sydney Morning Herald). Only a master such as Murray can create a deep groove that allows this music to run rather seamlessly across funk, Latin rhythms, R&B, and free (Glide Magazine). Jazz legend David Murray is back with the next generation of geniuses (Washington Post). David Murray goes down as a worthy successor for some of the biggest names in jazz, and he is now contributing to the rise of many young talents acclaimed by the critics.
