From the Artist Bio page of The Chicago Jazz Festival: “He will lead his adaptable Out Front unit, which began as a trio, expanded to an all-star septet for his 2011 album, Hues of a Different Blue, and today, with a few personnel shuffles, will be a killer sextet. How else to describe a band including alto saxophonist supreme Bobby Watson, the pride of Kansas City, whose Horizons group was the hard bop group of the ’80s; the extraordinary young tenor saxophonist JD Allen; trumpeter Derrick Gardner, leader of the Jazz Prophets and son of Chicago-based big band leader Burgess Gardner; Indiana-rooted pianist Steve Allee, a founding member of Out Front, and super drummer Winard Harper, the greatest living stylistic descendent of the ageless Roy Haynes.” |
