Here's something you might be interested in.
James Farm, a collectively led group, is making it's first San Diego appearance on Oct. 2, at Anthology, in Little Italy.
The group consists of one established headliner, tenor saxophonist Joshua Redman, who has been a name in the jazz world for more than 10 years, and a trio of very experienced sidemen. On the piano, Aaron Parks has been employed by trumpeter Terence Blanchard, and guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel, bassist Matt Penman has guided ensembles led by John Scofield and Joe Lovano, and drummer Eric Harland is perhaps the most well traveled, sharing stages with tenor sax legend Charles Lloyd, bassist Dave Holland, and Indian percussion master Zakir Hussein.
James Farm became a group in 2009, and their first gig of note made big noise at the Monterey Jazz Festival that same year.
After a years worth of gigs under their belt, the group recorded their eponymous debut, James Farm on the Nonesuch record label in 2010.
The record signals a strong and promising beginning. Set in a kind of "chamber-jazz-plus-drums" mode, it wouldn't be out of place on the ECM imprint. It features material written by each band member, all of which boast memorable themes and fine soloing.
Redman's father, Dewey, was one of the finest tenor saxophone players of any era. A former sideman with Ornette Coleman and Keith Jarrett, the elder Redman never got the recognition he had coming to him, despite having a singular sound and instantly identifiable style.
This could very well be one of 2011's most memorable jazz concerts.
The Sunday show begins at 6 p.m. Tickets range from $ 13 - 32 for an individual seat, $ 56 for a booth seat.
