JOSH SHPAK BAND
For his group, the Josh Shpak Band, rising trumpeter/composer Josh Shpak has collected a quintet of some of the brightest young talents in music today, creating a group steeped in the history of jazz, that – following in the footsteps of pioneers like Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny – creates a sonic palette more accessible to the young listeners of the modern era. “I have often found that the main reason people of my generation steer away from jazz is not that the music is too complex, too angular, too tense…it’s because the very sounds that the musicians are using sound old, or outdated to them,” says Shpak. “I’d like to bring my music to these people in a way that makes their own favorite artists (whether they be Radiohead, Kendrick Lamar or The Beatles), be as relevant a part of our culture’s musical history as John Coltrane”.
That’s a high statement for someone so young, but as a protégé of jazz trumpet/flugelhorn legend, Clark Terry, this statement comes from a place of deep respect for the past. “Every great musician in history has been completely present in his or her own time period, while using their knowledge of the tradition to drive their creative forces”.
The Boston/New York-based Josh Shpak Band has in its mission a deep commitment to collaboration, and has performed (along with others) with special guests sax giant George Garzone, guitar-innovator Nir Felder, Grammy-nominated pianist/arranger/educator Shelly Berg and bandleader/trumpeter/EVI master John Daversa.
The Josh Shpak Band’s first EP, “Astatic”, is being released in June of 2015. This collection of originals and arrangements by Shpak features guests ranging from a string quartet to Israeli harmonica virtuoso, Roni Eytan.

The Logan Kane Quintet is exists as an outlet for his compositions, and is compromised of some of the best young jazz musicians the Bay Area has to offer.
