Fresh off a December mini-tour with Living Colour, drummer Will Calhoun will be returning to the stage in late January in support of Native Lands, his recent jazz offering. Calhoun's solo projects differ significantly from his work with the hard rocking Living Colour, focusing on world beats and jazz revealing another musical side of the tremendously gifted drummer. Calhoun's four night run at New York City's legendary Blue Note jazz club will commence on January 26-29 with two shows each night.

Calhoun embarked on a month long European tour last October in support of Native Lands, remaining overseas to reform Head/Fake with Living Colour bassist Doug Wimbish for a November run of European shows. No rest for the weary, Calhoun and Wimbish returned to the States, hitting the road with Vernon Reid and Corey Glover. The January shows will mark Calhoun's first performance of his Native Lands material in the United States.

Calhoun's band for the Blue Note shows will include Stacy Dillard and Marcus Strickland on sax, Orrin Evans on keys, Corey Wilkes on trumpet and Mark Kelley on bass.
