While Mimi Fox has been a Bay Area resident for decades, hometown opportunities to catch this globetrotting guitar star are few and far between. She returns for one night with her acoustic trio, performing a set of standards, originals, and material from her latest Origin Arts release, This Bird Still Flies.
~~~~~~~~
Internationally renowned guitarist/composer /recording artist Mimi Fox has been named a winner in 6 consecutive Downbeat Magazine international critic's polls and has been recognized by writers and colleagues alike as one of the most eloquent guitarists on today's scene. "While Fox makes her first impression with her technical skills, it's her emotional depth as a player that leaves an enduring mark." -- DownBeat
She has performed and recorded with some of the most commanding players in jazz, including saxophonists Branford Marsalis and David Sánchez, vocalists Abbey Lincoln, Diana Krall and Janis Siegel and Hammond B-3 organ masters Barbara Dennerlein and Dr. Lonnie Smith. Among fellow guitarists, Fox has collaborated with a multi-generational who's-who, including Kenny Burrell, Charlie Byrd and Charlie Hunter.
As a composer Mimi has written and performed original scores for orchestras, documentary films and dance projects. And after a string of critically praised albums, She is chair of the guitar department, a faculty professor and instructor at the Jazz School in Berkeley, Calif., and has served as an adjunct professor at New York University.
