Legendary for his beautiful tone, his melodic center, and the freedom with which he approaches music, Mr. Joe McPhee will receive this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award. It is with great joy that Arts for Art pays homage to this innovative composer, a master of both the saxophone and the trumpet, who has devoted his life to the highest standard of musical excellence. His compositions are carefully structured to facilitate collective improvisation and interaction with musicians from a wide range of aesthetics. He consistently chooses equality over hierarchy. He has spread across the world the message of a pure tone, an organic intensity of melody and rhythm, and an innate understanding of the balance of sound and space.
Highlights include: Celebrating the Great Joe McPhee, The Thing, A Special McPhee Big Band; Sonny Simmons, additional Highlights: Kneebody; Mark Dresser, Rudresh Mahanthappa; Hamid Drake; Dave Burrell, William Hooker; Rob Brown; Marshall Allen, Henry Grimes; Sheila Jordan; Pheeroan akLaff; Reggie Workman, Andrew Cyrille, Oliver Lake; Roy Campbell; Paul Dunmall, Matthew Shipp; Joelle Leandre, Nicole Mitchell; Kidd Jordan, Charles Gayle; AUM Fidelity 15th Anniversary with William Parker, David Ware, Darius Jones and and and .
