Miami Jazz Cooperative proudly presents The Gary Campbell Quartet featuring: Gary on saxophone, Michael Eckroth on piano, Vince DuPont on bass and Brandon Lee Lewis on drums. Saxophonist/composer Gary Campbell’s life as a jazz musician began in his hometown of Indianapolis Indiana, the city that spawned jazz greats such as J.J. Johnson, Freddie Hubbard, Slide Hampton, Wes, Buddy and Monk Montgomery, and many others. As a teenager he was introduced to the “Naptown” jazz community through his teacher and mentor David Baker. Learning the ropes by sitting in at local clubs and jam sessions, he played with the likes of organist Mel Rhyne and guitarist Ted Dunbar. After brief stints at Indiana University and the University of Miami, Gary migrated to New York City. From the late 60’s through the 70’s he was active in the innovative, energetic, and notorious loft scene – the testing ground for dozens of creative young jazz musicians. As a performing member of Free Life Communications, an organization of young jazz artists founded by David Liebman and Richie Beirach, Gary presented concerts of original music with John Abercrombie, Jan Hammer, Michael Moore, Bobby Moses, and many others.
