Guitarist

Guitar virtuoso Stanley Jordan’s career took flight in 1985 with commercial and critical acclaim. Since then, he has consistently displayed a chameleonic musical persona of openness, imagination, versatility and maverick daring. Here, he displays bold reinventions of classical masterpieces or soulful explorations through pop-rock hits. Also, blazing straight ahead jazz forays and ultramodern improvisational works, solo or with a group. Thus, Jordan can always be counted on to take listeners on breathless journeys into the unexpected.

Stanley Jordan & Mimi Fox

Dakota

The Jeff Denson/Mimi Fox duo is a powerful coupling of two virtuoso musicians who are at the height of their creative talent. The marriage of guitar and bass in these two artists’ hands sounds more like an entire ensemble rather than two musicians. Denson’s expressive and powerful tenor vocals adds another dimension to the duo’s range and repertoire. With their passion, musicianship, and wealth of original compositions, as well as their unique treatment of standard and not-so-standard fare, this is a special duo not to be missed.

Paul Mahder Gallery

February 23 brings the San Diego debut of the San Francisco String Trio, featuring Bay Area-based artists Mimi Fox on guitar, Jeff Denson on bass and vocals, and Mads Tolling on violin. Denson is familiar to Athenaeum audiences from his past appearances with Parisian guitarist Romain Pilon and Brian Blade, with Lee Konitz, and with the multinational Minsarah Trio. He is joined in the San Francisco String trio by two-time Grammy winner Tolling and six-time DownBeat International Critics Poll winner Fox, who come together to create an eclectic, riveting mixture of beautiful and passionate music. Crossing every genre from tango to funk, gorgeous ballads to sizzling up-tempo originals, the San Francisco String Trio provides its audiences with a special musical experience that is both poignant and compelling. Downbeat praised the trio for its “masterful musicianship and innovative arrangements that combine elements of jazz, pop, country, rock, swing, and world music. 4 stars!” Guitar Player called them “undeniably transcendent players, arrangers, and composers.” JazzTimes celebrated guitarist Fox for her “remarkable artistry… virtuosity… and inherent musicality,” calling her a “guitarist’s guitarist.”
