Dave Holland on bass, Kevin Eubanks on guitar, Craig Taborn on the Fender Rhodes and Grand Piano and Eric Harland holding it together on the kit, make up a ground-breaking quartet called PRISM. An amazing show of talent by the Grammy award winning Dave Holland and this supergroup. Awesome!
John Scofield, a legend in the jazz world, brought his newest project ‘Uberjam’ to the Toronto Jazz Festival this year. Featuring John on guitar, Andy Hess on bass, Tony Mason on drums and Avi Bortnick on guitar and samples/effects.
As a guitarist myself, these two bands gave me a lot to ponder. From Kevin Eubanks fluid finger-picked solo’s to John’s masterful virtuosity in all things jazz-guitar, I was inspired to go home, lock the door and not come out until I had practiced my guitar for two months straight! And that wouldn’t be enough.
