Fourager at Seattle Jazz Fellowship

The four intrepid characters that make up the band known as Fourager are friends in music and all things revelatory in the growth of the human spirit. That is literal truth from the ground up. To make their current tour happen, they had to pluck tenor saxophonist Jackson Cotugno out of Manhattan, and from his current merger from Seattle into the scene there. The young tenorist has been missed in the meantime, so an opportunity to welcome him home is a gesture well worth exercising on this Saturday evening.

The four intrepid characters that make up the band known as Fourager are friends in music and all things revelatory in the growth of the human spirit. That is literal truth from the ground up. To make their current tour happen, they had to pluck tenor saxophonist Jackson Cotugno out of Manhattan, and from his current merger from Seattle into the scene there. The young tenorist has been missed in the meantime, so an opportunity to welcome him home is a gesture well worth exercising on this Saturday evening.

Drummer Rocky Martin, to my view, has been the foundational figure in the concepts of what this lot is seeking in their vigorous foraging of music, life balance and culture. Guitarist Martin Budde's versatitlity and virtuosity is a major asset. Bassist Julian Wiseman is the deep end of the musical pool here, that allows Budde some acrobatics in this piano-less setting. The band is celebrating the release of their first album with a west coast tour. https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
