   About John Bishop

JOHN BISHOP

"...a wonderfully creative and fluid percussionist who weaves an often understated but complex web of textures..." - ALL ABOUT JAZZ

Welcome to my little home on the web. Following is the very popular story of ME. Feel free to ignore it and quickly scroll down and across to where my You Tube video pics of the week are. I'm afraid the cat playing the piano had to go, a little too damn cute, in it's place though is a lovely story of a Unicorn....nice....enjoy....

One of the primary voices in Northwest Jazz for over 25 years, John Bishop has performed in concerts and clubs with Bobby McFerrin, Lee Konitz, Slide Hampton, Benny Golson, George Cables, Kenny Werner, James Williams, Bobby Hutcherson, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Frank Rosolino, Herb Ellis, Abe Laborial, Eddie Daniels, Joanne Brackeen, Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, Kenny Rankin, Joe Locke, Hal Galper, Jessica Williams, and countless others. Along with numerous jingle, film-score, demo & multi-media recording sessions, he's appeared on more than 75 albums including sessions involving Rudy Van Gelder, Teo Macero, Ralph Towner, Bud Shank, Howard Roberts, Julian Priester & Ernie Watts.

One of his ongoing projects, the 20-year old piano trio New Stories with pianist Marc Seales and bassist Doug Miller, has 4 CDs of their own, 6 with the late be-bop saxophone great Don Lanphere, and a Grammy nominated effort on RCA with singer Mark Murphy. They were a house trio for 17 years at Bud Shank's Pt. Townsend Jazz Festival, headlined the 1993 JVC Jazz Festival in Vladivostok, Russia, appeared in concert with Tom Harrell, Sonny Fortune, Charles McPherson, Vincent Herring, Nick Brignola, Jane Monheit, Conte Condoli, Bobby Shew, Jon Faddis, & Larry Coryell among others, and regularly appear around the country by themselves or with Mark Murphy or Ernie Watts. Their latest recording, "Hope is in the Air: the Music of Elmo Hope," was produced by Don Sickler and recorded by Rudy Van Gelder and spent 18 weeks on the JazzWeek national airplay charts. "Highway Blues" from their CD Speakin' Out is embedded as a music sample in Windows XP.

"The New Stories trio is likewise nothing less than extraordinary. Drummer John Bishop, particularly, is one of the finest on the scene." - Jazz Review

Bishop is presently on the faculty of the University of Washington. His former private students include Zoro (Lenny Kravitz), Matt Jorgensen (Matt Jorgensen + 451), Aaron Montgomery (Trapt), Mark Bordenet (NYC), Dave Olsen (Robert Cray) and dozens of other professionals working around the country.

In 1997, Bishop started Origin Records (www.origin-records.com), a jazz record label and OriginArts, a graphic design & CD production company, to help further the exposure of creative artists and their music. Now in partnership with his ex-drum student, Matt Jorgensen, they have released over 200 recordings by 100 different artists, and have become one of the top independent labels in the country. In 2002, they added another jazz label, OA2 Records, a classical label in 2008 (www.originclassical.com), and in 2003 began Seattle's annual Ballard Jazz Festival (www.ballardjazzfestival.com). Bishop was inducted into the Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame in 2008.

"Origin reflects many colors of contemporary jazz…dark and brooding, slick and urban, modern and angular, even seductive and languid. Extremely well-recorded and beautifully packaged, this music will take you "downtown."" - Jeff Hanley, KZAM, San Francisco

Grab the Georgian flag and show some support. Better yet, if you can give to Mercy Corps.
