Event
John Heard Quartet
The 2013 Healdsburg Jazz Festival comes roaring out of the gate when the John Heard Quartet plays at a brand-new venue, the Healdsburg SHED. Heard, reportedly Count Basie's favorite bassist, has assembled a multi-generational band featuring Dayna Stephens on tenor sax, Akira Tana on drums, and Kenneth Nash on percussion. The chemistry here is combustible. Heard, now 74, has provided potent backing for most of the legends of swing and bop, including Oscar Peterson, Wes Montgomery, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and Ella Fitzgerald. Heard's swing is bedrock and impeccable.
Tana is a subtle yet aggressive drummer who has worked with Sonny Rollins, Milt Jackson, Jim Hall, and many more. Percussionist Kenneth Nash has provided international rhythms for Herbie Hancock, Dexter Gordon, the Pointer Sisters, and others. A Bay Area prodigy now living in New York, Stephens has given players like Julian Lage, Kenny Barron, and Gretchen Parlato the benefit of his classic tenor sound.
