Sat Jun 18 CHRIS LIGHTCAP GROUP Tony Malaby, tenor saxophone; Rodney Green, drums; Jacob Sacks, piano; Chris Lightcap, bass
Having released 2 critically acclaimed releases with his two-tenor quartet, bassist and composer Chris Lightcap brings another configuration of new music to Cornelia Street Cafe. Lightcap has been featured in the bands of Craig Taborn, Joe Morris, Mark Turner and Regina Carter, and tonight he will lead a band featuring his longtime collaborator Tony Malaby on tenor sax as well as drummer Rodney Green and pianist Jacob Sacks.
“One of the bright lights of New York's younger players, the bassist has been fashioning a group sound around a pair of tenor saxophonists for years. His writing can be simultaneously demonstrative and reflective, an accomplishment that gives his music emotional breadth." -Jim Macnie, Village Voice
“A bassist-bandleader who's made some excellent records with two tenor saxophones out front." - Ben Ratliff, New York Times
“Bassist Chris Lightcap has worked alongside avant-minded mavericks such as Cecil Taylor, Anthony Braxton, and Joe Morris, but he's also right at home in more mellifluous units led by Regina Carter and Craig Taborn. perhaps that explains the infectious swagger and fat grooves he brings to bear on Bigmouth (Fresh Sound New Talent), a playful bag of tunes featuring saxists Tony Malaby and Bill McHenry and drummer Gerald Cleaver" -Time Out New York Cover $10 www.chrislightcap.com
