Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing 
Monday January 18 -- 8:00 PM  

Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing captures the electricity and nuance of performances that can only be described as 'spect

O'Connor's
jazz performances and compositions pay tribute to his friend and
mentor, the legendary French jazz master Stephane Grappelli.  While
performing a number of tunes closely associated with Grappelli,
O'Connor's albums and live performances extend the repertoire with
O'Connor's original compositions. Joined by guitarists Frank Vignola and 2009 Grammy nominee Julian Lage, 'Hot Swing' continues to celebrate acoustic string jazz in new and exciting ways.


Mark O'Connor (b. August 5, 1961, Seattle, Washington)

"One of the most spectacular journeys in recent American music."  - The New York Times

"One of the most talented and imaginative artists working in music -- any music -- today." - The Los Angeles Times 

"Brilliantly original." - The Seattle Times

"The
audience was on its feet . . . They were moved by Mr. O'Connor's
journey without maps, cheering for the only musician today who can
reach so deeply first into the refined, then the vernacular, giving his
listeners a complex, sophisticated piece of early-21st-century
classical music and then knocking them dead with the brown-dirt whine
of a Texas fiddle." - The New York Times

A product of America's
rich aural folk tradition as well as classical and flamenco music, Mark
O'Connor's creative journey began at the feet of a pair of musical
giants.  The first was the folk fiddler and innovator who created the
modern era of American fiddling in the 1940's, Benny Thomasson; the
second, French jazz violinist, considered one of the greatest
improvisers in the history of the violin, Stephane Grappelli. Along the
way, between these marvelous musical extremes, Mark O'Connor absorbed
knowledge and influence from the multitude of musical styles and genres
he studied. Now, at age 47, he has melded and shaped these influences
into a new American Classical music, and a  vision of an entirely
American school of string playing. As The Los Angeles Times warmly
noted, he has "crossed over so many boundaries, that his style is
purely personal."
