Saturday the 17th

I am going to go check out my younger brother on Saturday evening!  Everyone should come...


 

SATURDAY, Sept. 17
Roland Guerin is a versatile, in-demand bassist, backing a variety of mostly jazz artists on both electric and upright acoustic instruments. He also cultivates his own, forward-thinking projects as a leader, including his new CD, “A Different World.” On the title track and “Full of Heart,” Guerin is backed by drummer Terrence Higgins and percussionist Bill Summers. Other tracks feature a band that includes Higgins, guitarist Shane Theriot, keyboardist Mike Esneault and saxophonist Khris Royal. Throughout, Guerin specializes in a melodic brand of smooth jazz fusion, all nimble, plucked bass lines and lush arrangements. For a CD release party Saturday in the Ogden Museum of Southern Art’s Patrick F. Taylor Library, Guerin is joined by Theriot, Derek Douget on sax, Austin Johnson and Kyle Rouselle on keyboards, and John Jones on drums. They’ll perform two sets, at 6 and 8 p.m.
