5/31/2013 Jazz Duo: Josh Breakstone-Guitar + Earl Sauls-Bass 7pm, LeeBelle Johnson Center, 301 South Foch St., in historic downtown Truth or Consequences, New Mexico Joshua Breakstone - Guitar: "Fire in velvet. A fitting description of Joshua Breakstone's jazz guitar," wrote Paul Weidman in The Sante Fe New Mexican. "His flowing lines on up-tempo cookers are impeccably clean and fiery, bearing the mark of a first-rate improviser, while his chordal work on heartbreaker ballads is the final word in finesse," has raved Guitar Player magazine. Japan's Jazz Hihyo (Jazz Critique) recognizes that "The style in which Joshua develops his fluid single-note solos used to be thought of as the Grant Green school, but now this man leads the school." Downbeat also has written that "There is no shortage of knock-out jazz guitarists about us these days. And Joshua Breakstone is among the best of them." . . . Earl Sauls - Acoustic bass: Earl Sauls has been a professional musician for over thirty five years and has played with some of the all-time jazz greats such as Stan Getz, Howard McGhee, Woody Herman, Pepper Adams, Chuck Wayne and many more. He is also featured on recordings by Joshua Breakstone, Peter Prisco and others. Earl currently freelances in the New York / New Jersey area. Cost: FREE! Donations Appreciated.
