Mark Whitfield, guitar
Roland Guerin, bass
Troy Davis, drums
The trio comprising Mark Whifield, Roland Guerin and Troy Davis is a true power-trio. Whitfield, guitarist and leading member of the band, is one of the most interesting talents ever to emerge from Berklee College of Music. As solo artist and world famous sideman, he is able, thanks to his musical versatility, to move from R & B to jazz and pop without losing the unique styles of these genres, just like his mentor George Benson. Nominated by the New York Times as "The Best Young Guitarist in the Business" (1990), Mark worked with great artists such as Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Ray Charles, Burt Bacharach, Wynton Marsalis, Branford Marsalis, Stevie Wonder, Joe Lovano, Sting, Mary J. Blige, Chaka Khan, John Mayer, Diana Krall, Lauryn Hill, Chris Botti and the Dave Mathews Band. Mark Whitfield will be on stage with Troy Davis, great drummer with several world tours behind him and recognized by the World Drummer magazine among the Top 500 Drummers, and Roland Guerin, excellent bassist who worked with George Benson, Ellis Marsalis, Marcus Roberts (with whom he played at the Winter Olympics in 2002), John Scofield, Shannon Powell, Herlin Riley and Germain Bazzle. - See more at: www.jazzascona.ch/index.php/en...
