Coastal Jazz Present the Will Goble Group – Savannah, GA

May 21, 2008 by Susanne Talentino

(Savannah, GA) The Will Goble Group, Will Goble- upright bass, Dave Potter- drums, and Austin Johnson- piano… all natives of North Carolina, have been captivating audiences with a sultry and seductive jazz that pours out onto the city streets and fills in the gaps between various jazz genres. The accomplished trio has been playing together for years and considered by some to be a wonder that has yet to be fully discovered.

Mr. Goble performs throughout the United States; both as part of his trio and also as a much in-demand bassist for other musicians. He boasts a full, dark sound,
a strong desire to swing, and the commitment to support his fellow musicians
in any ensemble. Mr. Goble has appeared as a sideman with Grammy award-winning pianist Marcus Roberts and with numerous other notable artists, including Vincent Gardner, Wycliffe Gordon, Kevin Bales, Scotty Barnhart, Barry Green, Philip Harper, Jason Marsalis, Takana Miyamoto, and Stephen Riley among others. He currently performs frequently as a member of the David Guidi Quartet, as well as the Jason Marsalis Vibes Quartet.
