Joshua White Quintet gigs are always something to look forward to, and the July 11 hit at Dizzy's has been circled on my calendar for months.
White's got a new version of the Quintet cued up for this performance -- with special guest Hugh Ragin set to make his debut with the ensemble.
Ragin, who is coming in from Colorado has serious credentials which include touring and recording with icons like Anthony Braxton, Roscoe Mitchell, David Murray, John Lindberg, and Maynard Ferguson.
He's got a clear and fluid aesthetic and is well versed in classical trumpet and bebop as well as the avant-garde.
I've been listening to a bunch of his work lately, and believe me, this guy is a killer!
Joining White and Ragin will be some of LA's finest improvisers, including bassist Dave Robaire, drummer Dan Schnelle and alto saxophonist Gavin Templeton.
If ever there was a time to check out White, this is an opportunity that shouldn't be ignored. http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/jul/09/48859/
