Brooklyn born and raised saxophonist Eric Wyatt pays a visit to the Fellowship, bringing with him a strong tenor presence. Wyatt has authored five albums as a leader and appeared as a sidemusician with the likes of Kenny Garrett, Jeff “Tain” Watts, Wallace Roney and Al Foster. Wyatt will be surrounded by some of the best of the Pacific Northwest, with drummer John Bishop, bassist Paul Gabrielson and pianist Keith Brown joining him at 109 S. Main. 

Wyatt’s music can take a turn from post-bop to soul in a heartbeat. His tenor style is sharp and distinctive, in the Gotham tradition. Brown’s playing is orchestral in a sense, always steeped in melody and ornate harmony. Gabrielson is a master of groove with an imaginative approach to soloing backed by classic technique. Bishop’s original style is a bridge between space and time and always musical. The format is in the Seattle tradition of bringing out an east coast presence and surrounding the artist with the top shelf of local cats. It harkens back to the city’s history as a remote cultural outpost, applied in a time when Seattle is an international gem. The culture clash is always interesting and explosive. https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
