Several years later he met bassist David Friesen in New York City, and they formed a duo that recorded and toured prolifically for seven years, with performances in the United States,Canada, Europe and Australia. The duo continues to perform thirty years after their first meeting ~~ In 1983, John and David joined flutist Paul Horn and Paul’s son Robin Horn (on drums) for a historic tour of the Soviet Union. This was the first time in forty years that an American jazz group had been invited to play public performances in Russia. In 1993, 1995, and 1998 John returned to Russia, playing in numerous cities. His two sold-out performances in Kursk may have been the first appearances there by an American jazz musician ~~ John continues to tour, record and teach internationally. He has been Artist-In-Residence at schools in Germany, Indonesia, Argentina, and in the United States and Canada. He served as assistant director and performer in Oregon Public Broadcasting’s PDX Jazz Summit in 1991, and since 1995 has been a contributing columnist for a number of magazines, including “Downbeat”, “Guitar Player”, Canadian Musician”, “Soundcheck” (Germany), and “Guitar Club” (Italy).

Allison Parkway (Wadsworth and Alameda). Senior, student and group discounts available. Free parking on-site ~~ Turtle Island Quartet ~~ A Love Supreme: The Legacy of John Coltrane ~~ The Turtle Island Quartet performs the music of John Coltrane ~~ Winner of the 2006 and the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Classical Crossover Album, Turtle Island Quartet offers a glorious fusion of jazz and chamber music. John Coltrane’s jazz epiphany, “A Love Supreme,” was recorded four decades ago at a time when the country was deeply troubled by issues of race and war. In exploring John Coltrane’s musical legacy from stages around the globe to the international airwaves, Turtle Island continues its own tradition of employing the string quartet form to shed new light on the timeless joy and beauty contained in the greatest music of the American jazz masters ~~The Turtle Island Quartet derived its name from creation mythology found in Native American folklore. Since its inception in 1985, the quartet has been a singular force in the creation of bold, new trends in chamber music for strings. Turtle Island fuses the classical quartet aesthetic with contemporary American musical styles, and by devising a performance practice that honors both, the state of the art has inevitably been redefined ~~ The Turtle Island Quartet includes David Balakrishnan (violin, baritone violin). The Turtle Island founder developed a revolutionary compositional style that has earned him two Grammy nominations (in the instrumental arrangement category for his string quartet adaptations of Dizzy Gillespie’s “A Night In Tunisia” and the jazz ballad “You’ve Changed,” featuring clarinetist Paquito D’Rivera). Mark Summer (cello) is a founding member of Turtle Island and is widely regarded, thanks in part to his phenomenal percussion and pizzicato techniques, as one of the outstanding cellists of our time. Mads Tolling (violin) regularly tours and records with the acclaimed bassist Stanley Clarke and has performed with Joe Lovano, Al DiMeola, Lenny White and Gerry Brown. He studied under violinist Matt Glaser, and he graduated summa cum laude from Berklee College of Music in Boston in 2003. Jeremy Kittel, (viola) newest member of Turtle Island, is rapidly earning a reputation as one of the nation’s most creative young musicians. In 2003, he competed in the first ASTA Alternative Styles Competition, winning the Alfred Award for Best Improvisation, the Mark O’Connor Award of Merit, and IAJE Award for Best Jazz Performance. His most recent recording, “Jazz Violin,” won the 2006 Detroit Music Award for Outstanding Jazz Recording.

Francisco in 1992, Scott Amendola has been nominated for a Grammy with
the band T.J. Kirk, recorded three records with Charlie Hunter for
Blue Note, toured the world and appeared on national television with
The Charlie Hunter Quartet, formed his own inventive, house-packing
quintet, and has recorded or performed with dozens of musicians,
including Bill Frisell, John Zorn, Tony Furtado, Noe Venable and Jacky
Terrasson, among many others. Amendola’s inspiration stems from such
stylistic influences as African music, jazz, blues, spirituals, rock,
and the avant garde. Scott has never been satisfied with just being a
masterful drummer. He has spent his career pushing music in new
directions; most notably with his latest project: The Scott Amendola
Band, for which the bandleader composes and arranges all the music.
The self-titled debut CD features Jenny Scheinman on violin, guitarist
Dave Mac Nab, bassist Todd Sickafoose, and Eric Crystal on reeds.
Scott’s music ranges from hard-hitting grooves to lush ballads, and
from his original compositions to covers by such artists as Jimi
Hendrix, Fela, and Nick Drake. The Scott Amendola Band released a
second CD called Cry, featuring guitarist Nels Cline and ex-Geraldine
Fibbers frontwoman Carla Bozulich, on Cryptogramophone in 2003 ~~ One
thing for certain, the music doesn’t sound quite like anything else,”
describes Steven Raphael of Modern Drummer magazine. “There is a
phenomenal interaction of five distinct musical voices. Amendola and
his hand-picked crew take responsive improvisation to new heights.”
For Amendola, “it’s all about improvisation and opening up the music
so that anything can happen.” Just as importantly, Scott strives to
create a “band sound,” a oneness among the players that at once
challenges and complements each musician. Once the band is in that
deep pocket, the audience can’t help feeling it ~~ In addition to his
own new release, some other recent recordings that Scott can be heard
on are: The Nels Cline Singers’ Instrumentals and The Giant Pin
(Cryptogramophone), Jenny Scheinman Quartet Live at Yoshi’s (Tzadik),
The Tony Furtado Band (Cojema), Jim Campilongo’s Live at the Du Nord
(Ethic), Noe Venable’s Boots (Petrydish), Paul Sprawl’s Blue Suitcase
(Intuition), and Paul Plimley’s Safe-Crackers (Victo). Over the past
ten years Scott has toured, recorded, or performed with Bill Frisell,
Dave Liebman, John Zorn, Wadada Leo Smith, Jacky Terrasson, Shweta
Jhaveri, Larry Goldings, Sex Mob, Robin Holcomb and the Joe Goode
Dance Group, Wayne Horvitz, Johnny Griffin, Viktor Krauss, Paul
Plimley, Tony Furtado, Jack Walrath, Julian Priester, Sonny Simmons,
ROVA Saxophone Quartet, Pat Martino, Nels Cline, Peter Apfelbaum, Jim
Campilongo, Bobby Black, Paul McCandless, Ben Goldberg, Mark Turner,
Michael Franti, Primus, Nina Hagen, Phil Lesh, Leight and Matt from
Six Pence None the Richer, and others, and has toured extensively
throughout Europe, North America, and Australia.
