John Stowell is a unique jazz guitarist influenced as much by pianists and horn players as he is by guitarists. His original take on harmony, chords and improvisation sets him apart.
He has taught internationally for over 40 years in every educational setting. His clinics are informal, hands-on and informative. In addition to music theory and guidelines for improvisation, John shares his professional experience with the business of music. Join us on February 11, 2019 for this rare headline appearance, when John brings his quartet to the Dante Club, featuring Kerry Kashiwagi on bass, Jack Stanfill on drums and Jeff Alkire on sax.
The Sacramento Jazz Coop proudly presents the John Stowell Quartet featuring Kerry Kashiwagi on bass, Jack Stanfill on drums, Jeff Alkire on sax., and John Stowell on guitar.
