About
West African-born guitarist Lionel Loueke is one of the most distinctive new voices in jazz. On his newest album, Karibu, he collaborates with his long-standing trio of bassist Massimo Biolcati and drummer Ferenc Nemeth, and is graced by rare guest appearances by legendary pianist Herbie Hancock and saxophonist Wayne Shorter.
Since arriving in New York in 1995, bassist-vocalist-composer Richard Bona has been one of the most sought-after talents on the scene. To date, guitarists Larry Coryell, Mike Stern and Pat Metheny, keyboardists Joe Zawinul, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Jacky Terrasson and Bob James, saxophonists Sadao Watanabe, Branford Marsalis and David Sanborn, violinist Regina Carter, vocalist Bobby McFerrin and trumpeter Randy Brecker have enlisted his services as a sideman. But it is in the context as a leader in his own right that the gifted Cameroonian has revealed the full scope of his artistry.
