Saxophonist and composer Eric Person returns to the Dante Park stage to celebrate the release of his thirteenth CD Extra Pressure. For this performance he and his band celebrate the Centennial birthdays of two of jazz’s greatest innovators: Miles Davis and John Coltrane:
Eric Person’s body of work as a leader and sideman are stylistically diverse and intrepid. He has performed and recorded with leaders within the vanguard of the jazz world namely McCoy Tyner, Dave Holland, Houston Person, Wallace Roney, Chico Hamilton, and World Saxophone Quartet. And others outside of jazz such as Bootsy Collins, Ben Harper,Vernon Reid and Living Colour. Critics have long taken note of Eric’s signature sound on alto and soprano saxophone.
John Chacona of Signal to Noise writes “Eric cultivates a sheer beauty of sound that’s often breathtaking.”
Bill Milkowski called Person “a risk-taking improviser, accomplished composer, and inveterate swinger.”
Don’t miss this one-time celebration!
