About the show:

Acclaimed as a “Percussionist of rare versatility” and for compositions with “Deep Story Telling Expressiveness”, Percussionist and Composer John Arrucci makes his Nashville debut with the John Arrucci Quartet, which he’ll lead from the Vibes. Joining John is Josh Karas (piano), Thomas Altman (bass), & Brian Czach (drums).

He has appeared on four continents in performances and/or records alongside such notables as Michael Brecker, Mariah Carey, John Patitucci, Gil Goldstein, Oliver Lake, Richard Bona, Jane Ira Bloom, Gary Versace, David Byrne and Bob Brookmeyer.

In New York, he has taken the stage at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Town Hall, Symphony Space, the United Nations, Merkin Hall and other renowned Jazz venues.

Arrucci and his quartet will present three world premieres and also draw from his extensive repertoire of original music. Don’t miss this extraordinary event!

“As an artist, I feel the urge to expand even what I perceive as “ melody, harmony, rhythm”, all the while pursuing the aesthetic that makes appearances in my dreams. The creative forces that I most admire are those whose curiosity and courage explored new frontiers, and propel the rest of us with them- Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Miró, Stanley Kubrick…”

Arrucci is noted for his brief, pithy introductions that take you into the mind and imagination behind the music, opening the gate to some of the most arresting new dimensions in jazz.
