John Lee: Press

The weekend ends with a jazz-rock fusion set, courtesy of the Chinese Irishman. John Lee proudly refers to himself by his ethnicity, but it tells you nothing whatever about his bone-shearing guitar work that has stood him in good stead playing with sonic adventurers like John Zorn and Calvin Weston. But Lee is a Washington player, and if he’s got a hearty rock base he’s also got fiery jazz and ethereal tones up his sleeves—made manifest on his stunning debut record, this year’s Somewhere Impossible to Find. That album is made by Lee’s primary outlet, the John Lee Experience, a trio featuring bassist Steve Zerlin and drummer Bruce Guttridge. On Sunday, after a long series of gigs at home and abroad behind Cyro Baptista and Beat The Donkey, Lee returns the band to D.C. stages. It happens at 9 p.m. at Bossa, 2463 18th St. NW.
