VINCENT HERRING

JAZZ FORUM ARTS / MAY 8-9

Saxophonist Vincent Herring's intense, soulful, multi-noted style and ebullient swing have excited audiences worldwide. On stage, Vincent and his band often make an incendiary sound over fine and controlled rhythms of modern times. With his fiery, soulful sound, Vincent has recorded over 20 albums as a leader and over 250 as a sideman. Vincent and saxophonist Eric Alexander will reunite to echo the album led by Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley Quintet in Chicago (Mercury Records, 1959). Accompanying them will be pianist Mike LeDonne, bassist John Webber, and drummer Kenny Washington.  SBL
