Double bass player Eric Revis plays so powerful and self-assured that he sticks out everywhere, in the popular bands of Branford Marsalis and Kurt Rosenwinkel as well as in uncompromising power trios with Peter Brötzmann and Nasheet Waits. He played on the Grammy Award-winning album Contemporary Jazz by Branford Marsalis. With his own all star quartet he balances between melodic contemporary jazz and cutting-edge improvisation.
In this quartet, Eric Revis plays with three masterful musicians from New York who are relatively unknown in the Netherlands, but who can measure their strength with the very best: alto saxophonist Darius Jones, tenor player Bill McHenry and drummer Chad Taylor.
‘He’s one of those dudes you ought to follow whether you know where he’s going or not—something gripping invariably happens on the way’ (Village Voice).
‘Eric’s sound is the sound of doom; big, thick, percussive’ (Branford Marsalis).
