If you think about the individual sound of an electric bass player, there are not too many that you will recognize instantaneously. Eberhard Weber, Steve Swallow and of course Jaco Pastorius are great examples.
This leads us straight to Juan “Snow Owl” García-Herreros. He sounds different, too. He can sound very low, but on the other hand can make his instrument sing and sound like a flamenco guitar. These two opposites might be influenced by his South American roots: He was born in Bogota/Colombia, where the Indians of the Andes called him "The Snow Owl", but grew up in the melting pot of New York, where he mixed up all of the different musical styles he had heard, studied and performed: Blues, Funk, Jazz, Heavy Metal, Rock, Salsa.
But what really makes the Snow Owl different is his own personal way of talking to people, and it is this open-hearted communication that you can hear in every single tone. Here, the vehicle to communicate is not only his instrument but his entire quartet.
Juan Garcia-Herreros - six string electric contrabass guitar
Greg Osby - alto and soprano saxophones
Edward Simon - grand piano, synthesizers
Terri Lyne Carrington - drums, percussion |
