Award winning Guitarist JC Stylles, part of the fabric of the New York City Jazz Scene for many years, visits the JazzLab for one night only, to share part of his repertoire normally presented in clubs from Showman’s in Harlem, to Smalls in Greenwich Village.
JC’s time in New York saw him work with the likes of Baritone Player Ronnie Cuber, Tenor player George Coleman, Bassist Peter Washington, Vibraphonist Steve Nelson, Drummers Billy Drummond & Byron Landham to name a few, as well as grace the stages of such organ giants as Jimmy McGriff, Dr Lonnie Smith, Joey DeFransesco, Tony Monaco, Pat Bianchi, Seleno Clarke, Jimmy “Preacher” Robbins, Melvin Davis, Nathan Lucas, Jared Gold, Brian Charette, Akiko Tsuruga and many others.
His recording “Ex-hil-a-ra-tion and other states” on Grammy Winning Label Motema Music, (featuring Pat Bianchi on organ and Lawrence Leathers on drums and produced by Grammy winning producer Jack Kreisberg), received rave reviews from those in the know , lasting 13 weeks on the USA Jazz Charts Top 50. His follow up album ‘Blakey Grease’ went on to win the highest debut slot on the USA Jazz Charts when released at Number 15, before racing into the Top 5 in a hotly contested market, and exceeded 15 consecutive weeks in the Jazz Charts Top 50 releases!
He has performed from the East to the West Coast of the USA, and abroad to Paris, before producing, performing and hosting the biggest Memorial Concert of 2020 at Jazz at Lincoln Centers’ “Dizzy’s Club” (just prior to the NYC Covid shutdown) in honour of his fallen bandmate Lawrence Leathers, featuring Grammy Winners Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, and
Vocalist Cecile McLorin Salvant amongst many others.
JC Stylles is delighted to be joined by Melbourne’s own trumpet titan in Mat Jodrell, as well as mighty Mike Pensini on organ, along with the dynamic Darryn Farrugia on drums, for what will be a night of burning grooves, swing and energy for those who want a taste of New York City at the Jazz Lab!
