Geoff Harper at Seattle Jazz Fellowship

About

Veteran bassist Geoff Harper defies categorical placement in so many ways. He has often refered to himself as an "outside guy," alluding to his time spent with on the edge artists personified by Wayne Horvitz. Yet jazz audiences in and around the Pacific Northwest have seen Harper on many, many occasions playing straight ahead modern jazz and swinging like mad. Perhaps one could chalk up that flexibility to an open mind and his usual job description as a sideman. For this date, SJF gives Harper a stage to spin whatever tale he chooses as a leader. The results are sure to be eclectic and fun.
