Vincent Herring Quartet
About this Event
Steeped in the tradition of Charlie Parker and Cannonball Adderley but with a soulful voice all his own, alto and soprano saxophonist Vincent Herring has built a career that has spanned the great bands of the century, including the Horace Silver Quintet, Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Jack DeJohnette’s Special Edition; has performed and recorded with greats Steve Turre, Kenny Barron, Nancy Wilson, Dr. Billy Taylor and Carla Bley; and leads several of his own high-energy projects, including Something Else, a seven-piece all-star collaboration centered on a soul-jazz revue; The Battle, a co-led collaboration with Eric Alexander; Vincent Herring–Joris Dudli’s Soul Jazz Alliance; and the Vincent Herring Quartet.

"Considered one of the premier saxophonists of his generation. Vincent Herring is a saxophone virtuoso with a uniquely intense and vigorous musical voice." - Manhattan School of Music
"His chops are as imposing as ever... in his phrasing, the breath between notes, the sly statements and expressive nuance of how he sings through his sax... You can feel his sense of conviction and exhilaration." – Jazz Times
