Lonnie Plaxico live in New York

Experience Lonnie Plaxico live on September 22nd

Lonnie Plaxico is an American jazz bassist and composer known for his versatility across multiple genres, including post-bop, fusion, and contemporary jazz. Throughout his career, he has established a reputation as a highly sought-after sideman and bandleader, performing with a wide array of influential artists such as McCoy Tyner, Diana Krall, and the ensemble compositions of various avant-garde musicians. His technical proficiency and improvisational skill have made him a staple in the New York City jazz scene.

The performance takes place at Birdland Marina in New York. While the Birdland name is historically associated with one of the most significant jazz clubs in the United States—originally founded in 1949 and serving as a premier venue for legends like Charlie Parker—the marina represents a different setting within the city's cultural landscape. The pairing brings Plaxico's sophisticated approach to acoustic and electric bass to this specific waterfront location, blending his extensive professional pedigree with the atmospheric environment of the marina.
