PLUMB - DAVID MURRAY/QUESTLOVE/RAY ANGRY — live event
Few musicians in jazz history have proven more vigorously productive and resourceful than David Murray. During the past 45 years, he constantly evolved as a soloist, a composer and bandleader. He has careened forward in a cool, collected, rocket-fueled streak. He has released over 20 albums under his own name. He is a founding member of The World Saxophone Quartet and The Clarinet Summit. He has worked with the likes of Max Roach, Randy Weston, Pharoah Sanders, McCoy Tyner, Mal Waldron, and Amiri Baraka. According to Gary Giddins, ’Several of his recordings are among the benchmark achievements in the postmodern era and others attest to a consistency that is rare in any era.’ Drummer and co-frontman for the original all-live-all-the-time hip-hop band the Roots, Questlove (Ahmir Thompson) was also arranging and producing Roots tracks from their 1993 recording debut. Aside from the band, he appeared on or produced tracks for D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, Common, Fiona Apple, Dilated Peoples, and Nikka Costa, though his first record under his own name, Babies Makin' Babies, was a mixtape of smooth soul instead of his own productions; he put together a sequel in 2006. Three years later, among continued recording activity with the Roots, he became a near-household name when he and the Roots were tapped to be the house band on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. In 2024, he released Plumb, a collaboration with jazz saxophonist David Murray and keyboardist Ray Angry.
