Down by Law Jazz All-Stars

The 2007 Jazz at Jardin’s line-up is an electrifying assembly of authentic all-stars.

On horn, Mic Gillette, leader -- for two decades -- of the world-renowned Tower of Power horn section. His searing funk and soaring brass solos have enlivened hundreds of recordings by artists such as Quincy Jones, The Rolling Stones, Jefferson Starship, Santana, and Rod Stewart. 

On electric bass, Todd Johnson, a pioneer of the six-string electric bass. In addition to recording and teaching music at CalArts, Todd is a member of guitarist Ron Eschete's critically acclaimed jazz trio. 

On stand-up bass and vocals, Kristin Korb, Adjunct Instructor of Jazz Studies at the University of Southern California. Kristin tours nationally as both an artist and educator, and has been described as “a player who sings in the tradition of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn and plays the bass with the authority and swing of the great Ray Brown.” 

On guitar, Don Mock, co-founder of the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT) in Los Angeles. Don is known for his amazing technique and a unique “fusion” style that blends jazz, blues and rock. An instructor at GIT, he has authored numerous instructional booklets and videos, including his recent "Guitar Scale Secrets" series for Warner Bros.
 

On guitar, Jay Roberts, son of legendary jazz guitarist Howard Roberts and jazz drummer Jill Roberts. Twice named Seattle’s best guitarist, Jay is founder of the Roberts Music Institute in Washington, where he performs in several duos and with a jazz/fusion quartet.
