Legendary instrumentalist Stanley Clarke performs tonight at Jazz San Javier

Date:

The San Javier Jazz Festival will host for the first time this Thursday evening at 10:30 pm Stanley Clarke, a world leader in electric bass and double bass, who has earned the title of living legend of music after 50 years of career. Stanley Clarke is not only regarded as the first musician to master both instruments equally well, but also as the first jazz fusion bassist to lead world tours with his own band. Stanley Clarke, winner of five Grammy Awards, for which he has been nominated 15 times, has just joined the National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Fellowship, the United States’ highest award for jazz musicians. Bass enthusiasts and followers of Stanley Clarke can admire one of his electric basses on display at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington. His career to the top of an instrument that he revolutionized in the 1970s, giving him the lead role he had never had in a band, began when he met Chick Corea with whom he founded the fusion group Return to Forever. of jazz fusion with other music genres such as rock. There, Stanley Clarke discovered a new way of playing the electric bass and the double bass, giving it a weight it had previously lacked.

Tickets for the concert can be purchased in person at the San Javier City Council Festivals office or electronically through the website (festivalessanjavier.com).
