Joe Lovano ‘One of the greatest musicians in jazz history’ New York Times
John Scofield ‘Arguably the most influential jazz guitarist.’ International Herald Tribune
Sydney Opera House is proud to present two of the most dynamic players in contemporary jazz, Joe Lovano and John Scofield, sharing top bill with their quartet for one night only.
When this Grammy Award-winning tenor saxophonist and master guitarist come together they make one of the most exciting jazz collaborations of our time. Close friendship shines through formidable musicianship in a technically brilliant performance beaming intensity, skill and fun.
The highly anticipated merger of Joe Lovano and John Scofield reunites the stellar duo that led one of the most popular jazz groups of the early 90’s and the powerhouse group ScoLoHoFo. Teaming up once again, these stellar musicians will play repertoire from their Blue Note classics ‘What We Do’ and ‘Meant to Be’ as well as new compositions.
Grammy Award winner and perennial poll winner, Joe Lovano is one of today’s most formidable and stylistically eclectic tenor saxophonists. Lovano’s playing possesses in abundance the sense of spontaneity that characterises the music's finest improvisers.
Hailed by Down Beat magazine as “King John,” John Scofield is a true legend of jazz guitar, collaborating with the Miles Davis band, Herbie Hancock, Bill Charles Mingus and Pat Metheny. Armed with his trusty Ibanez, he continually explores the outer edges of contemporary jazz.
Don’t miss these masterful jazz improvisers, joined by Matt Penman (bass) and Matt Wilson (drums) for one night only!
