CALI MAMBO, led by vibraphonist Tom Beckham and pianist Dred Scott, explores afro-cuban standards and latin-jazz classics. The instrumentation of vibes, piano, bass and percussion is reminiscent of Cal Tjader in the 1960’s or the George Shearing Quintet of the mid-1950’s that made 4 albums of Latin affairs, escapades and moods.
Dred Scott ~ Piano
Tom Beckham - Vibes
Diego Voglino ~ Drums
Marcos Varela ~ bass
DRED SCOTT’s label had referred to him as the 'maestro of mayhem' and Dred has the resume to back it up - He's played and recorded with a long list of diverse artists - Liza Minellii, Courtney Love, Anthony Braxton, Pete Seeger, Nina Hagen, Patti Smith, Zigaboo Modeliste, Joe Henderson, Joe Morello, Andrew Cyrille, Moby and Ricki Lee Jones. He's produced 10 records of his own (5 for Ropeadope) and his trio played the Rockwood Music Hall every Tuesday night at midnight for nearly a decade. Dred was the house pianist for Del Posto for 8 years and now the house pianist and music director for the private Shaun Hergatt restaurant in 432 Park. This new project marks the return of Dred to the clubs.
Vibraphonist TOM BECKHAM has released 4 CD’s to date as a leader: Suspicions (Fresh Sound New Talent, 1999) Center Songs, Rebound and a duo album with guitarist Brad Shepik entitled Flower Starter. He also performs on solo vibraphone and is a Vic Firth artist.
