The Troubadour, Oct 15, 2009


If Blade had remained confined to the ilk of new-breed jazz drummer
with a sound and a thing, that would have been enough to establish him
as one of an elite handful of his generation. His capacity to cross
betwee...n serious jazz and pop/rock with absolute authority, uncanny
intuition, and inspired style only expands his influence and elevates
his stature. No doubt, Brian Blade is one of the all-time drumming
greats...

When most artists reach the age of 76, they tend to lower their aims. Riding on the coattails of their creative heyday is an easy way out for many older musicians. But Wayne Shorter, after a half century ...

... And just before that Bro. Blade will be with Wayne Shorter performing on (September 6th) during the 30th Annual Detroit International Jazz Fest; which is off the chain of artists this year! What a way to celebrate (my birthday) with my Dad. We're so happy Blade's coming to Detroit.

One of the drawbacks to being one of the world's best drummers is that you can stay too busy to work on your own material. Luckily for audiences, the sunlight of the Newport Jazz Festival's harbor stage will shine on the restlessly creative Blade and his beloved ensemble.

Brian's set was one of the deepest and most beautiful (and best-received) in a weekend full of great performances.
