ONE FOOT IN THE SWAMP

Description:
John Ellis is one of jazz music's youngest rising stars, having already received raves from publications like The New York Times, Down Beat and All Music Guide, while placing 2nd in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophonist Competition in 2002. Currently, Ellis is the saxophonist in Ropeadope recording artist Charlie Hunter's widely celebrated and hard touring trio where his compositions have become staples of Hunter's albums and live sets. With his own group, Ellis combines his affinity for New Orleans' music a city that he considers a second home with the edge and urgency of modern jazz in New York City his current home. On his full length Hena debut entitled, One Foot In The Swamp, cuts like "Happy" and "One For The Kelpers" make clear that Ellis is on the verge of worldwide jazz acclaim. He’s joined by special guests including John Scofield, Nicholas Payton and Jason Marsalis.
