About

The last living member of Memphis’ infamous Newborn Family jazz dynasty, guitarist Calvin Newborn is an excellent melodic interpreter, plays with great fluidity and blues sensibility, and can smoothly execute complex chord progressions or subtly accompany vocalists. The younger brother of Phineas Newborn, Calvin grew up playing with greats like B.B. King, Jimmy Forrest, Hank Crawford, Charles Mingus, and Earl Hines.
