BIG WORDS

FEATURING:
Sean Wayland - Keyboards
Josh Myers - Bass
John Hadfield - Drums

Josh Myers is proud to offer his open ears and big earthy bass tone to various incredible projects, including Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds, Heather Christian & The Arbornauts, and Kinan Azmeh's CityBand. As a bandleader, he has been the driving force behind BIG WORDS and the Josh Myers Quintet, and has self-produced and released acclaimed records with both projects. Of his composition, Mark F. Turner of All About Jazz wrote: "The fundamentals of composition and improvisation are balanced with fresh ideas that are creative and thought provoking." He is equally at home in the worlds of jazz, rock, soul, funk, and various other genres. He has had the pleasure of performing in legendary venues such as the Fillmore, Lincoln Center, The Royal Opera House in Muscat Oman, Carnegie Hall, and The Library of Congress, alongside such greats as John Scofield, Kenny Werner, Ralph Alessi, Wayne Krantz and Bernard Purdie.
