About
“An expressive instrumentalist, Cherry has a hip, melodic approach that is a refreshing contrast to guitarists who frequently resort to playing ‘finger music’, the execution of rapid streams of notes that serve no musical purpose other than to fill space” —JazzTimes
Acclaimed jazz guitarist Ed Cherry brings his formidable trio to Zinc jazz club on Monday, April 29. He’s supported by pianist John DiMartino and bassist Gary Wang.
Guitarist Ed Cherry has been playing professionally since the early ’70s, as a sideman to musicians such as Tim Hardin, Jimmy McGriff, Henry Threadgill and Jimmy Smith. Most famously, he spent over fifteen years in Dizzy Gillespie’s band, remaining with the group until the trumpeter’s death in 1993.
Showtimes are at 7:30 pm & 9:00 pm. Tickets: $20 in advance / $25 day of show. For more info call (212) 477-9462 or visit https://www.zincjazz.com.
