CELLAR TURNS 13! HELP US CELEBRATE with CELLAR OWNER CORY WEEDS & THE LEGENDARY HAROLD MABERN TRIO
Fri 06.14.13
SEPT 26 - 29
featuring CORY WEEDS tenor saxophone, HAROLD MABERN piano, JOHN WEBBER bass and JOE FARNSWORTH drums.
Celebrate the finest jazz club that Vancouver has ever known with Juno Award Nominee and Cellar owner CORY WEEDS with the legendary pianist HAROLD MABERN.
Harold Mabern, one of jazz’s most enduring and dazzlingly skilled pianists, was born in Memphis, a city that produced saxophonists George Coleman and Charles Lloyd, pianist Phineas Newborn Jr. and trumpeter Booker Little. He was an unsung hero of the 1960s hardbop scene, performing and recording with many of its finest artists, and only in recent years has he begun to garner appreciation for his long-running legacy in jazz and the understated power of his talent; as critic Gary Giddins has written, “With the wind at his back, he can sound like an ocean roar.”
During his over half-century on the scene as sideman and leader, he has played and recorded with such greats as Lee Morgan, Sonny Rollins, Hank Mobley, Freddie Hubbard and Miles Davis, just to name a few. “I was never concerned with being a leader, I just always wanted to be the best sideman I could be. Be in the background so you can shine through.”
