Greg Howe

Greg Howe, an American instrumental rock guitarist, brings the 2003 album Extraction to the stage at The Jazz Cafe in London, in a concert that reworks the record for live performance.

Greg Howe, born in Easton in 1963, began his career in 1982 and released a debut album under his own name in 1988 on Shrapnel Records. The music sits within instrumental fusion, where precise technique and improvisation carry the playing.

The concert centres on Extraction, recorded in 2003 with drummer Dennis Chambers and bassist Victor Wooten. Over twenty years after its release, the album is being played live for the first time. Greg Howe performs it alongside Chambers, bassist Jon Reshard and keyboardist Marco Corcione, a new line-up that opens up fresh room for improvisation within the original material.

The Jazz Cafe hosts concerts and shows in London, and this evening is staged there.
