Vincent Herring Saxophone
Earth Jazz represents Herring's electric funk-jazz connection, and while most jazz fans may know him from his tenure with hard bop icon Nat Adderley (1987-1993) or from his various sideman roles with the likes of Freddie Hubbard, Cedar Walton, the Mingus Big Band, or Louis Hayes' Cannonball Legacy Band (as well as from his 14 recordings as a leader), they will no doubt recognize him in this new and different setting.
Vincent Herring
Active Decades: '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Nov 19, 1964 in Hopkinsville, KY
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Post-Bop, Hard Bop, Straight-Ahead Jazz, Jazz Instrument, Saxophone Jazz
It was only fitting that Vincent Herring gained his first important recognition playing with Nat Adderley, for his sound is strongly influenced by his idol, Cannonball Adderley. Born in Kentucky and raised in California, Herring moved to New York in 1983, and played with a variety of major musicians (including Lionel Hampton, David Murray, Horace Silver, and Art Blakey) before joining Adderley (1987-1993). Vincent Herring, who has recorded for Landmark and Music Masters, has led his own group since the early '90s.
