After touring with Ben Vereen and Buddy Rich\, he moved to Philly in 1983. \n“What I learned from hanging out in Philadelphia and meeting all sorts of people is that jazz was an African American art form and has spiritual qualities because it does come from the blues\, which come from the church. There is definitely this connection\, and I made those connections in a way that I probably wouldn’t have made had I stayed in New York. In fact\, I probably wouldn’t be playing jazz\, so it was a blessing to come to Philly.” \nAfter embracing the upright bass\, he found himself in the company of legendary local musicians\, including John Swana\, Sid Simmons\, Byron Landham\, Shirley Scott\, and many more. Mike especially recalls his tutelage from Trudy Pitts—and Bill “Mr. C” Carney’s insistence that he convert from electric to acoustic bass. \nAs a leader\, Mike has produced a few albums of his own and is currently an adjunct professor of jazz at Temple University. Nowadays\, he is often accompanied on stage by his teenage son\, musical prodigy Mekhi Boone\, who plays drums. The bassist also has a vibrant social media life on Facebook where his provocative posts garner buzz-worthy responses. Ultimately\, for the elder Boone\, it is all about the power of music. \n“I was blessed to learn the real deal: street jazz. So I take some of that street jazz with me into the classroom and directly on the bandstand and that’s what I try to portray. I’m not trying to do a bunch of hip stuff. I’m just trying to swing my ass off. I’m trying to tap into God because that’s where all this stuff comes from anyway. I’m just trying to make people feel good and to do my job. Musicians are healers—we’re doctors\, we heal people. People come in\, and if they don’t feel good\, we’re supposed to make them feel good.” \n“They call Nashville ‘Music City\,’ but when I think of Philadelphia\, it is a true Music City—and I will always shout from the rooftops: ‘We got it!’” – Mike Boone URL:https://southjerseyjazz.org/event/mike-boone-group-featuring-mekhi-boone/ LOCATION:Gregory’s Restaurant & Bar\, 900 Shore Rd\, Somers Point\, NJ\, 08244\, United States CATEGORIES:Events,Festival ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://southjerseyjazz.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/mike-tn.jpg GEO:39.3115265;-74.5967395 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Gregory’s Restaurant & Bar 900 Shore Rd Somers Point NJ 08244 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=900 Shore Rd:geo:-74.5967395,39.3115265 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241012T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241012T210000 DTSTAMP:20260521T034526 CREATED:20240629T173119Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241025T172526Z UID:10000330-1728759600-1728766800@southjerseyjazz.org SUMMARY:The John Patitucci Brazilian Trio DESCRIPTION:The John Patitucci Brazilian Trio\nOCT. 12 • 7:00 P.MGATEWAY PLAYHOUSETickets: $20 a show or $50 for all 3 shows.Tickets available at www.gatewaybythebay.org \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The John Patitucci Brazilian Trio features John Patitucci on acoustic and electric bass\, Yotam Silberstein on acoustic and electric guitar\, and Rogerio Boccato on drums and percussion. Patitucci formed his latest Brazilian Trio in 2017 to record Irmdos de Fe for the high end subscription only vinyl record label Newvelle Records.

The three not only love the music of Brazil\, but are true students of the music. Lyrics\, intentions\, personalities\, instrumentations\, and histories were all discussed in rehearsals\, just as much as chord changes\, tempos and inflections. \nJohn Patitucci has released 16 recordings of his own as band leader and is well known for his longtime membership in the Wayne Shorter Quartet\, the Chick Corea Elektric Akoustic Bands\, as well as performing and recording with other jazz greats such as Herbie Hancock\, Dizzy Gillespie\, McCoy Tyner\, Freddie Hubbard\, Michael Brecker and many others.

He was a finalist in the 2005 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Guitar Competition and at 21\, performed at Italy’s renowned Umbria Jazz Festival\, released a critically acclaimed debut album and set out on an extensive tour of Europe. Yotam has earned his place among the jazz elite by collaborating with such luminaries as James Moody\, The Heath Brothers\, Roy Hargrove\, George Coleman\, David Sanborn\, Marcus Miller\, Paquito D’Rivera\, Christian McBride and many others. Yotam has a profound passion for Brazilian music and his repertoire in this style is vast\, with hundreds of pieces committed to memory. \nBrazilian percussionist and educator Rogerio Boccato plays recorded in projects led by some of today’s leading jazz artists\, among them Maria Schneider\, Fred Hersch\, Brian Blade\, Kurt Elling\, Danilo Perez\, Renee Rosnes\, and many others. He has also collaborated with top-ranking Brazilian artists\, such as Toninho Horta\, Moacir Santos\, Ze Renato and Vinicius Cantuaria.

Musicians in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas flocked to the shore. Lalasis was one of them\, moving to Smithville\, where he still resides. \nHe got his start at All That Jazz\, a place on Pacific Avenue\, playing from 2 to 5 a.m. The band was led by an artist who would become a giant in Atlantic City and elsewhere; reedman Michael Pedicin\, Jr. Bobby Young\, who would become the contractor at Steve Wynn’s Golden Nugget\, wandered in one night and was so blown away by Lalasis and the rhythm section that he offered him a job. \nThe spot within the Golden Nugget was Elaine’s lounge where the rhythm section backed a different act each week including Buddy Greco\, Keely Smith\, Joanie Sommers\, Billy Daniels\, Frank D’Rone\, and many others. \nJoining Andy and Musical Collusion on October 11th at Gregory’s will be Josh Orlando – drums\, Demetrious Pappas – Keys\, and Bob Ferguson- Trpt.

A tribute to the legendary jazz bassist\, Scott LaFaro whose revolutionary contributions to the classic Bill Evans Trio still reverberate to this day\, Bromberg’s 28th as a leader shows him in an unadulterated swinging trio setting in the company of pianist Tom Zink and drummer Charles Ruggiero. An in-demand L.A. session musician and valued sideman to everyone from Stan Getz to Dave Grusin\, Billy Cobham\, Michael Bublé\, Diana Krall and countless others\, Bromberg’s solo career began in 1986\, albums like 2005’s rock-fueled Metal\, 2006’s Wood II\, and 2007’s GRAMMY®-nominated Downright Upright\, further showcase the bassist’s remarkable versatility and sheer command of his instruments. On LaFaro\, Bromberg pays heartfelt homage to the virtuosic bassist. The superpower trio of Evans\, LaFaro\, and drummer Paul Motian were committed to the idea of three equal voices\, working together for a singular musical idea and often without any musician explicitly keeping time. Inspired\, this ultimately led Bromberg to lead his trio on a gorgeous album.
