SUMMARY:In a Silent Way: Joel Harrison Quintet plays Miles Davis
DESCRIPTION:Paul Hanson\, reeds; Joel Harrison\, guitar; Michael Manring\, bass; Scott Amendola\, drums \nFormer Berkeley resident\, guitarist Joel Harrison\, returns to the Bay Area to journey into Miles Davis’ iconic 1970 record\, “In a Silent Way.” The band consists of old allies\, some of the Bay Area’s finest and most creative musicians—they will also perform some of Harrison’s original music. Harrison recently released a live record from the Big Ears Festival of this music. The band’s approach will be to “make it new.” \nGuitarist\, composer\, arranger\, lyricist\, writer\, educator and vocalist Joel Harrison has “created a new blueprint for jazz” (New Orleans Times-Picayune). He has released 27 records\, a body of work that connects multiple American traditions. While rooted in jazz\, his music moves fluidly through classical\, rock\, country\, and American roots music. The New York Times has described his work as “protean… brilliant.” \nHarrison is the founder and director of the Alternative Guitar Summit\, an annual festival devoted to innovative and unconventional guitar music. The Summit has featured artists such as Fred Frith\, Nels Cline\, Bill Frisell\, Julian Lage\, Michael Gregory Jackson\, Mary Halvorson and Pat Metheny\, who has called it “one of the most interesting and distinguished forums for guitar on the planet.” Harrison is the author of Guitar Talk: Conversations with Visionary Players\, Pity the Genius and Modern Jazz Standards for Guitar. \nhttps://joelharrison.com/\nhttps://www.paulhansonmusic.com/\nhttps://manthing.com/\nhttps://scottamendola.com/ \n$25 cover charge; byob\nStudents $10 \nFor a reservation\, call the bookshop at 415-586-3733
