Eric Revis Quartet
Eric Revis - bass; Bill McHenry - tenor sax; Darius Jones - alto sax; Ted Poor - drums
One of the most talented and accomplished musicians of his generation, Grammy Award-winning bassist and composer Eric Revis has, over the past 15 years, become an important voice in jazz. Branford Marsalis states, “Eric’s sound is the sound of doom; big, thick, percussive.” Scores of musicians across various disciplines agree. Revis has performed and recorded with Betty Carter, Peter Brotzmann, Jeff “Tain” Watts, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Steve Coleman, Ralph Peterson, Lionel Hampton, McCoy Tyner, Andrew Cyrille, and Tarbaby (the experimental trio he tri-leads with Orrin Evans and Nasheet Waits).
Manning the bass chair with Branford Marsalis’ powerfully flexible quartet since 1997, Revis has also recorded five brilliant albums as a leader, including the recent CD, In Memory of Things Yet Seen (Clean Feed).
