Bass Summit to benefit bassist John Clayton

Internationally renowned bassist John Clayton who has performed with a diverse group of musicians including Paul McCartney, Diana Krall, The Amsterdam Philharmonic, the Count Basie Orchestra and his own Clayton-Hamilton Orchestra co-led with drummer Jeff Hamilton recently lost his home in the devastating fires in Los Angeles. In addition a bass that he was given by master bassist Ray Brown was lost.

To help alleviate this loss bassists Jeff Campbell, Kieran Hanlon and Paul LaDuca will join forces with John Bacon drums, George Caldwell piano to present a concert of music featuring the bottom of the jazz ensemble. Expect an evening of music that is swingingly out of the ordinary to help support our bass brother in time of need.
