Mimi Fox is currently touring 3 separate programs: Her virtuosic solo guitar show, a scintillating guitar duo with Stanley Jordan, and her hard swinging Organ Trio.
Mimi's solo show: Mimi established her credentials as a worthy successor to Joe Pass with the astonishing 2001 Origin Records solo album, “Standards”. Since then she has released 4 other critically acclaimed solo guitar recordings. Of her most recent solo outing, Jazz Times said: "A dazzler from start to finish...remarkable."
Mimi's duo show with Stanley Jordan: Stanley Jordan and Mimi Fox are orchestras unto themselves. From Wes Montgomery to Jimi Hendrix, they have absorbed a staggering array of musical influences. When they combine forces, their love for each other and musical telepathy generate incredible musical sparks... drawing audiences into an unforgettable and magical world. A recording of this collaboration will be available in the Spring of 2026.
Mimi Fox Organ Trio show: Documented on her 2024 release "One For Wes", in tribute to guitar legend Wes Montgomery, her smokin’ organ trio continues to strut across North America. The New York City Jazz Record describes the album as “a heartfelt tribute to the iconic musician, showcasing her exceptional skill and versatility across various musical styles.”
Internationally renowned guitarist/composer/recording artist Mimi Fox has been cited in numerous Downbeat Magazine International Critics Polls and has been hailed by Guitar Player Magazine as “a prodigious talent who has not only mastered the traditional forms but has managed to reinvigorate them.” She has performed and recorded with many jazz greats, including fellow guitarists Charlie Byrd and Charlie Hunter; Grammy-nominated saxophonists Branford Marsalis and Houston Person; vocalists Abbey Lincoln, Tierney Sutton and Diana Krall; and powerhouse drummer Terri Lyne Carrington. She has also shared the stage with music legend Stevie Wonder, and has toured the world, playing such major festivals as the Montreal, Guinness Cork, Perth International, and Jamaica Spice Jazz Festivals. Stateside, she has headlined at elite venues such as Monterey/Newport Festivals, Jazz At Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center, Yoshi’s and the Great American Music Hall among countless others.
With 14 recordings as a leader Mimi Fox is one of the treasured instrumentalists of American Jazz music. In addition to concerts, Mimi Fox offers educational workshops and master classes.
The Critics Speak:
"Guitarist Extraordinaire Mimi Fox presented a stunning set of music (at the Kennedy Center) that kept the audience riveted from the opening blues excursion to her immaculately delivered solo. Fox's firm control, clarity of concept, and emotional depth made this the most memorable moment of the festival."
-- All About Jazz
Fox is certainly one of the best guitarists in the world, so it was only natural for her to pay tribute to Wes Montgomery in honor of the centennial of his birth. On "One For Wes", Mimi Fox delivers a powerful album, showing us the full extent of her immense talent.
-Couleurs Jazz (Paris)
“This Bird Still Flies a dazzler from start to finish, a resonant mix of pop, jazz, blues, funk, and Americana that reaffirms Fox's remarkable artistry in a fresh light, thanks in no small part to her skills as a composer, and perhaps even more so as an audacious arranger."
-JazzTimes
“Beyond her passion and virtuosity, Mimi Fox plays with a profundity that only results from a lifetime of commitment and total immersion in one’s art.”
