NYC: BLUE NOTE JAZZ FESTIVAL PRESENTS: JERRY DOUGLAS
The BLUE NOTE JAZZ FESTIVAL Presents: Jerry Douglas on Thursday through Sunday, June 6th through 9th at THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. As a solo artist, band member, collaborator and session musician, Jerry Douglas' distinctive playing graces over 2000 albums by artists as varied as Garth Brooks, Ray Charles, Elvis Costello, John Fogerty, Bill Frisell, Charlie Haden, Emmylou Harris, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Earl Scruggs, Phish and the Chieftains, as well as the eight-million-plus selling soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou? and its spinoff live disc Down from the Mountain. As a producer, he's helmed albums by such notable acts as the Del McCoury Band, Maura O'Connell, Jesse Winchester and the Nashville Bluegrass Band. The Ohio-born Douglas began playing Dobro at the age of eight. After playing with his dad's group the West Virginia Travelers for several years, a 17-year-old Douglas joined the pioneering progressive-bluegrass band the Country Gentlemen in 1973. Two years later, he became a member of the seminal J.D. Crowe and the New South, which also included future solo stars Ricky Skaggs and Tony Rice. In 1976, Douglas and Skaggs co-founded the now-legendary bluegrass combo Boone Creek. There is a $20-$35 cover.
