Live from Harlem – JFA Presents: Eric Person Quartet

Thursday, April 2 @ 2:00 pm
National Jazz Museum in Harlem

Eric Person Quartet
Over his nearly forty years as a musician in New York, Eric Person has had the good fortune to perform with the vanguard of the jazz world, namely McCoy Tyner, Dave Holland, Wallace Roney, Vernon Reid, Ronald Shannon Jackson, and the World Saxophone Quartet. Eric’s signature sound on alto, soprano, tenor, saxophone and flute has been featured on over fifty CDs, from Chico Hamilton to Ben Harper to Bright Dog Red. His work as a leader–showcased on 11 releases–is stylistically diverse and intrepid, presenting solo works, music for jazz quartet, duo for sax/drum, an electric ensemble and big band.

Presented in partnership with the Jazz Foundation of America, supported in part by an award from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and by the Howard Gilman Foundation.

The Jazz Foundation of America is a national nonprofit dedicated to helping the jazz, blues, and roots musicians who have played the soundtrack to our lives. With compassion and discretion, JFA provides housing assistance, medical and legal referrals, disaster relief, and financial support to musicians and their families in times of crisis, while also creating employment opportunities in concert programming nationwide. 
This event will also stream on the Jazz Foundation and Jazz Museum YouTube Channels.
