Bob DeVos – guitar

Behn Gillece – vibraphone

Steve LaSpina – bass

Jason Tiemann – drums

The celebrated virtuoso guitarist-composer Bob DeVos returns to Shanghai Jazz with a quartet of equally brilliant musicians: Downbeat Rising Star Behn Gillece on vibraphone, the veteran master Steve LaSpina on bass and in the pocket Jason Tiemann on drums. Extraordinary improvisers all, together they create a glorious blend of sound that is exhilarating, exciting, hip and sublime. World Class Musicians Not To Be Missed.

With long, blues-drenched lines; a warm, fat sound; and a horn-like, melodic approach, Bob DeVos has been proclaimed a living jazz legend. The masterful guitarist has an enthusiastic following for his innovative work, first with a who’s who of jazz greats in and outside of the Hammond B3 organ genre--including Richard “Groove” Holmes/Sonny Stitt, Jimmy McGriff/Hank Crawford, and Charles Earland–and for the past 20 years as a leader. A brilliant improviser, DeVos thrills audiences worldwide with tight-knit performances of jazz standards, Rhythm & Blues, ballads, and his own hip compositions and modern arrangements.
