The Sextet Features Pianist Jon Cowherd, Percussionist Alex Acuña, Guitarist Chico Pinheiro, Drummer Jeff Ballard, Saxophonist John Ellis and Bassist Christopher Thomas
The Las Vegas-based jazz label Le Coq Records, founded in 2020, makes its European debut this December with dates in France and Italy. The European tour will span eight dates in seven cities.
"Honest jazz," that's the succinct but profound guiding principle behind Le Coq Records, as cited by founder Piero Pata. "Deceptively simple, it's a foundational tenet that promises a wide-ranging yet incisively curated catalogue of virtuoso veterans and rising stars, vigorous swing and ebullient Latin rhythms, traditional jazz values and sophisticated modern sensibilities."
The Jon Cowherd Sextet showcases a number of artists and players who comprise the diverse Le Coq arsenal, including pianist Jon Cowherd, percussionist Alex Acuña, guitarist Chico Pinheiro, drummer Jeff Ballard, saxophonist John Ellis and bassist Christopher Thomas.
