Party: Brian Blade Fellowship at the Dakota Jazz Club
Main page > Dakota Jazz Club and Restaurant > Brian Blade Fellowship at the Dakota Jazz Club
March 2 & 3 | 7 & 9pm
Multi-talented young veteran Brian Blade is widely respected in the jazz world, not only for his playing, but for his warm, generous personality. He is known as the drummer for many heroes of the music world, including Daniel Lanois, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Wayne Shorter, Seal, Bill Frisell, and Emmylou Harris. Blade is always searching for the balance that gives a song a personal story with an outward reaching resonance.
Among his many projects, he is drummer/composer/leader of Brian Blade and The Fellowship Band, with whom he has released four albums. Blade, pianist John Cowherd, and bassist Chris Thomas have played together for over 20 years, and reedmen Myron Walden and Melvin Butler have played with the Fellowship since 2000. These long-term commitments make Fellowship shows more of a gathering of friends than a “concert.” And everyone is invited.
