MORE INFORMATION Farrell Family Jazz at the Athenaeum Wednesday, June 13, 2012 The Neurosciences Institute, 10640 John Jay Hopkins Dr., San Diego, CA 92121 $21 member/$26 nonmember The series opens on Wednesday, June 13, with the stellar team of pianist Benny Green and bassist John Clayton, who return to reprise their extraordinary February 2006 duo performance at the Athenaeum. This engagement will be presented in two separate performances at 7pm and 9pm. Benny Green is celebrated for his absorption of a wide swath of the jazz tradition, from early stride playing to the hard-bop idiom of the early 1960s. JazzTimes commented that Green's style features "plenty of playing with Oscar Peterson, Erroll Garner and Fats Waller in mind, and plenty of humor but when he turns the mood reflective, we are reminded that this rollicking pianist is also a master of touch, dynamics, harmonic subtlety and surprising melodic turns." Bassist John Clayton is known for his co-leadership of the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra and the Clayton Brothers Quintet, as well as associations with artists such as Diana Krall, DeeDee Bridgewater (including her Grammy award winning CD "Dear Ella"), Natalie Cole, Milt Jackson, Nancy Wilson, Quincy Jones, George Benson, Dr. John, Gladys Knight, Regina Carter, Queen Latifah and many others. DownBeat called him simply, "one of the most accomplished bassists in mainstream jazz." ********************************************************** IMPORTANT: The Athenaeum verifies all transactions for active library membership status and reserves the right to charge the difference in "member" and "nonmember" ticket price.
