Mark Guiliana – drums Chris Morissey – bass Jason Rigby – tenor Mike Lewis – tenor
Dazzle is excited to welcome back one of the world’s most innovative drummers, Mark Guiliana. In October of 2017, his Jazz Quartet graced Denver with a night of beautiful acoustic music. With his return this November, he brings us a new project entitled Space Heroes. The group features longtime collaborators Chris Morrisey on bass, Jason Rigby on tenor saxophone (both members of the quartet just mentioned), and to everyone’s surprise, a second tenor saxophonist Mike Lewis(of Bon Iver fame)
Mark Guiliana has become recognized as one of the world’s leading drummers, admired and in demand across the spectrum from jazz to rock to electronic music for his rhythmic sophistication, creative impulse and individual sound. He has been in the vanguard of drummers creating a new vernacular on the instrument, blending virtuosity on acoustic drums with artfully deployed electronic beats and processing. Guiliana was chosen as Best Jazz Drummer in the Modern Drummer Readers Poll 2017, while DownBeat dubbed him a Rising Star in its Critics Poll. JazzTimes aptly proclaimed: “Guiliana, a technical master with a rare sense of musicality, has over the past decade become one of the most influential drummers of his generation.”... See More
