Jamie Shadowlight: Electric Ladyland
Jazz / Rock Fusion
Jamie Shadowlight returns to Anthology with a jazz fusion exploration of the music of Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rush, and Billy Cobham on electric violin backed by a power quartet featuring electric guitar wizard and Grammy Award winning producer Larry Mitchell (Ric Ocasek, Billy Squier, Tracy Chapman), jazz piano virtuoso Mikan Zlatkovich (Louis Hayes, Chet Baker, Charles McPherson), electric bassist Cecil McBee Jr. (Hubert Laws, Bradley Leighton),and drummer Russell Bizzett (Tommy Bolin, Jose Feliciano).
Shadowlight loves to explore and expand the context of the violin in music in imaginative ways. In addition to composing her own music, she has adapted West Side Story as a harmonic love story between the violin & trumpet(featuring Gilbert Castellanos) in a latin jazz setting, brought the violin into brazilian music in a tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim, and funked it out playing a night celebrating the music of Stevie Wonder.
On April 8th, Jamie goes electric and will explore the sounds of the 5 string electric violin with a pedalboard, adding wahwah, distortion, and more to create an exciting new sound.
