Approaching jazz from a wide scope, Afro-Danish American John Tchicai is a composer/saxophonist whose music is internationally known for its compelling sense of rhythm, drama and humor, its freedom, spirituality, healing qualities and ultimate freshness. He recorded with both John Coltrane ("Ascension") and John Lennon ("Life with Lions"), founded ensembles like "New York Art Quartet", "Cadentia Nova Danica" and "John Tchicai & the Archetypes"; he has composed for jazz & classical ensembles and he records, tours and teaches continuously. John Tchicai is the first recipient of a lifetime grant for Jazz performance from the State of Danmark. Based today in Davis,CA, and Claira, France, he is available for residencies, concerts, lectures, workshops and commissions.
