JAZZ OF FOUR CONTINENTS
John Marshall Quintet (USA/UK/CZ)

Jazz trumpeter John Marshall (b. New York, 1952) has enriched countless bands since the 1970s: Buddy Rich, Lionel Hampton, Mel Lewis, Dizzy Gillespie, Gerry Mulligan, Mario Bauza, Ornette Coleman, George Coleman, and Benny Goodman, among others—and, from 1992, the world-renowned WDR radio-television big band in Cologne, Germany, where he has just completed his 25-year contract. He appears regularly in New York at Smalls jazz club and other venues. John tours and records with the finest American and European players: saxophonists Grant Stewart, Ferdinand Povel and Chris Byars are a few. For his first concert at Jazz Dock, he has invited renowned Czech jazz musicians: Najponk – p; Taras Voloschuk – b; Jiří Slavíček – dr. The concert features straight-ahead jazz in top performance, and the band will play well-known jazz standards as well as some John Marshall compositions.
