Bandleader JOHN BEASLEY assembles bassist Buster Williams and multi-reedist Bennie Maupin, two original members of Herbie Hancock's Sextet (Mwandishi and Sextant), along with drummer Jeff “Tain" Watts, who has performed on every Grammy Award winning jazz record by both Wynton and Branford Marsalis, to play music from Beasley's 2009 GRAMMY considered latest CD Letter to Herbie, a tribute album to Herbie Hancock.
“Every night Hancock’s creative and groundbreaking Sextet played you would hear each song morph into new music," says Beasley. “Hancock inspired musicians to evolve continually and to stretch their musical horizon." Beasley’s Jazz Circle brings the spirit and talent of those indelible performances to today's stage with eclectic arrangements of Hancock tunes mashed with a few of Beasley's songs.
New audiences will be sure to leave delighted by this series of concerts.
