Both are former members of trumpeter Miles Davis’ “Second Great Quintet” from the 1960s.
Here’s something you don’t see every day in Colorado: two former members of trumpeter Miles Davis’ “Second Great Quintet” from the 1960s will appear, albeit on separate stages, in Denver and Boulder on the same night.
Keyboard innovator Herbie Hancock and bassist Ron Carter will perform in the area on Sept. 12: Hancock and his band at Boulder’s Chautauqua Auditorium, and Carter’s Golden Striker Trio at the new Dazzle location in the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Both are among the most accomplished artists of the last 60 years. Hancock has successfully performed in a dizzying array of styles, and has two platinum albums , “Head Hunters” and “Future Shock,” to his credit. Carter, meanwhile, has appeared on more than 2,200 recordings in his astounding career, holding a Guinness World Record as the most recorded jazz bassist in history.
No matter whose show you attend — or you can experience both, since Carter’s in town for three nights — you should easily grasp the history and authenticity that will be on exhibit. Seeing that the two are the only surviving members of Davis’ historic ‘60s quintet, , we should honor these innovators while they’re still with us.
More regional jazz this month: Guitarist Oz Noy appears at Dazzle with Dennis Chambers and Jimmy Haslip for two shows on Sept. 7. … Brazilian jazz group Passiflora with Marion Powers, Annie Booth and Camilla Vaitaitis plays Saturdays in September at Denver’s Nocturne. … Compelling saxophonist and poet Alabaster DePlume appears at Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox on Sept. 10, and similarly forward-thinking keyboardist Kamaal Williams is slated to perform there on Sept. 13.
