QUARANTINE JAM 5/13

Jamie Fox and Lisa Parrott

Originally from southern California, Jamie Fox has served as “an unflappable melodist” (NY Times) of the guitar in concert and on television around the world. He has played at the famed Montreaux Jazz Festival and was a semifinalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition in 1995. He has worked with artists as diverse as Brother Jack Mc Duff, Dr. John, Ernie Watts, Gene Harris, Tiger Okoshi, Carla Thomas, Otis Clay and The Shirelles. He played guitar and served as Musical Director for the Joan Baez World Tour (1989-1991), filming a popular PBS television special with Baez and Jackson Browne. He was lead guitarist for Blood, Sweat, & Tears (1998-2000), touring the USA and Canada. In addition to performing his own music and in various NYC ensembles, Jamie records and tours with singer Jen Chapin and with Stephan Crump’s Rosetta Trio.

Jamie’s 2007 release “When I Get Home”, was praised by critics, including “All About Jazz” which noted: “There’s a sense of the storyteller who captivates his audience with interesting anecdotes and thoughtful tales, centered around exquisitely performed music”. His latest CD release is “I Wish”, a trio recording of mostly original tunes. In addition to his latest release, “I Wish” Jamie is featured on recent recordings by Stephan Crump’s Rosetta Trio (“Outliers”), Jen Chapin (“Desert or Sea”) and Ed Reed (“I’m A Shy Guy”).

Lisa Parott

“she has developed that most prized of qualities – an original voice on her instrument.”
Peter Jordan Sydney Morning Herald
An expatriate Australian who has shown that she can succeed on the competitive New York jazz scene, alto and baritone saxophonist Lisa Parrott has been based there since the mid-90’s, working with a range of prominent bands. Performance credits are stylistically wide ranging and include Dave Brubeck, Nancy Wilson, Johnny Mandel, Cindy Blackman, Gunther Schuller, Marty Ehrlich’s Large Ensemble, Jane Ira Bloom, the Artie Shaw Orchestra, Jimmy Heath’s Big Band and the Diva Jazz Orchestra, where she held down the bari sax chair from 1998-2015.
She has been consistently recognized in the DownBeat Critics Polls and in 2016, she won the annual in the ‘Rising Star’ category for baritone saxophone and continues to poll each year. She also received Australian Arts Council grants to study with Steve Coleman (1993) and Lee Konitz (1997). Her recording ‘Round Tripper’ received 4 stars in Downbeat, JazzTimes and a 4.5 star review on allaboutjazz.
She has toured and played in all 50 states of the US and all over Europe, including major jazz clubs and festivals and Carnegie Hall. Lisa’s playing has been featured on over 30 albums as a leader and side person and she cites her biggest musical influences as being Bernie McGann and Ornette Coleman.
In 2020, Lisa was chosen to receive a Chamber Music America grant for her new NY septet project ‘We Love Ornette’, that includes workshops with drummer and son of Ornette, Denardo Coleman, and subsequently record in early 2022.
Open Source is a participant-driven art initiative in Brooklyn, NY that provides space, community and conceptual context for creative play and critical commentary.
