Experience Stanley Clarke live on August 14th

Stanley Clarke is scheduled to perform at Keystone Korner in Baltimore, Maryland on August 14, 2026. Clarke is a highly influential bassist, composer, and bandleader renowned for pioneering jazz fusion. His musical style blends elements of jazz improvisation with rock, funk, and even classical influences. He is celebrated for his virtuosic technique – employing both acoustic and electric bass – and innovative use of harmonics and percussive techniques on the instrument. Throughout his career, Clarke has led numerous ensembles, including the Stanley Clarke Band and Return to Forever alongside Chick Corea.

Keystone Korner originally gained prominence as a legendary jazz club in San Francisco, California, operating from 1972 to 1985. It hosted performances by many iconic jazz musicians including Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, and Art Blakey. The Baltimore location is a relatively new venue established in 2023 aiming to recreate the intimate atmosphere and dedication to live jazz that defined the original Keystone Korner. The Baltimore iteration focuses on presenting both established artists and emerging talent within the jazz and improvisational music scenes; it's designed as a listening room prioritizing sound quality and artist focus.
