Brisbane Jazz Festival 2008

Brisbane Powerhouse and Optus Business present

The John Scofield and Joe Lovano Quartet

Fri 31 Oct 08

 

WIN! Brisbane Jazz Festival Competition

Grammy award winning tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano and maestro jazz guitarist John Scofield reunite for the first time in 20 years for one of the most exciting collaborations ever heard.  

Joe Lovano and John Scofield are two of the most acclaimed artists in contemporary jazz. The pairing of these two masterful jazz improvisers and long-time friends brings together once again the duo that led one of the most popular jazz groups of the early 90s, ScoLoHoFo. 

With his distinctive diversity of post-bop, funk edged jazz and R&B, John Scofield has prominently led his own groups in the international Jazz scene, recorded over 35 albums as a leader and collaborated with contemporary favourites and jazz legends like Miles Davis, Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden. 

Known for both small and large group ensembles, Joe Lovano stands out as one of the most successful saxophonists in Jazz. He has distinguished himself for some three decades as a prescient and pathfinding force in the arena of creative music.  

Augmented by their collective years of experience, creativity and technique, Lovano and Scofield will be joined by Matt Penman (who has toured to Australia with Sean Wayland and recorded with James Muller) and leading New York drummer Matt Wilson.
