Jonathan Scales Fourchestra
About this Event
The internationally acclaimed Jonathan Scales Fourchestra returns to Black Squirrel Club!
Known for their jaw-dropping performances and intimate soundscapes, the trio has toured globally and earned an NPR Tiny Desk Concert featuring a cameo appearance by Béla Fleck.
You’ve heard this before, but the whimsically named Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is really tough to describe. Veering from in-your-face, jaw dropping chops and passion, to those quiet moments when the background noise disappears and you hold your breath to take in a soundscape of solitude from this power trio combining elements of jazz, classical, and progressive rock, peppered with Latin rhythms and soulful outbursts of funk.
From club and festival stages across North America and Europe, and tours of Africa, Southeast and Central Asia as a Cultural Ambassador for the US Department of State, to their NPR Tiny Desk Concert featuring Béla Fleck, the Fourchestra’s live shows make even the most jaded listeners forget where they are... even if just for a precious moment.
This may seem an odd thing to say, but on the verge of releasing their eighth studio recording, Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is only now truly embracing their identity as a group. For many years, Jonathan’s live band was a fluid lineup of top-notch musicians, and even included an “all- star” version with bassist MonoNeon (Prince, Nas), drummer Sput Searight (Snarky Puppy, Snoop Dogg) and percussionist Weedie Braimah (Trombone Shorty, Christian Scot aTunde Adjuah), as well as a number of other marquee players.
Now, however, the Fourchestra is a decidedly indivisible band, and Jonathan is writing for the trio, not just the pans. As they prepare to release their eighth studio album, this performance will showcase their latest musical evolution and the future of their dynamic sound.
The innovative steel pan master, Scales, is joined by bassist E’Lon JD and fearless drummer Maison Guidry (drums) for an electrifying fusion of jazz, classical, rock, Latin, and funk.
