Description
When Joe Lovano blows his sax, the world listens. As one of the premier practitioners of the tenor saxophone and an accomplished clarinetist, flutist and drummer to boot, Lovano is something of a jazz godfather. For his current tour, Lovano has assembled Us Five, a band with more talent in its ranks than some jazz festivals have in their entire lineup. James Weidman mans the keys while the two celebrated drummers Francisco Mela and Otis Brown III play tug-of-war on the skins and hats and no less than the White House-approved bassist Esperanza Spalding hammers home the low frequencies. - Curtis Cartier sanjose.com
