Dave Devine plays Grant Green

We are excited to present local favorite Dave Devine as he pays tribute to an underappreciated giant of jazz guitar: Grant Green. A prolific sideman and bandleader for the Blue Note label, Green's work is synonymous with the swinging, blues-influenced sound of the Golden Era of mainstream jazz. Dave will be joined by a band of heavy-hitting local musicians: Tom Amend (piano and organ), Seth Lewis (acoustic and upright bass), and Dru Heller (drums). 

Hailed as “Denver’s Guitar Guru” by Westword Magazine, guitarist, composer, and educator Dave Devine is known for his virtuosity as a performer and dramatic versatility as an artist. Devine’s recording projects have ranged from experimental jazz (momen terra, Static Trio) and chamber pop (Greybird, Delby L) to jazz metal (Hate Camels), ambient (Mountain Coast), and art rock (DOORS THAT DON’T). Devine has also recorded and performed with Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band (Body and Shadow, Blue Note), John Grant and the Czars (Sorry I Made You Cry, Bella Union), Art Lande, The Barr Brothers, Chuck Prophet, Marc Broussard, Elliott Sharp, Ron Miles, Matt Wilson, Ben Goldberg, and Neil Halstead among others. In addition to his renowned work on stage, Devine is also an educator at heart and is the Co-Director of the Jazz and American Improvised Music program at Metropolitan State University of Denver, where he has taught since 2002.
