Herbie’s band on almost every stop will feature drummer Richie Barshay, bassist Matt Garrison, violinist Lili Haydn and guitarist Lionel Loueke.
Coming off a performance at the New Orleans Jazz Festival that drew overflow crowds, Herbie will pull together a special “Herbie and Friends” ensemble for the Sonoma Jazz Fest on May 28th before debuting his road band at the JVC Jazz Fest in New York on June 23rd.
From there, it’s Europe for six weeks before hitting the western part of the U.S., currently wrapping up at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on August 9th.
