Join us at the Jack London for an all star performance of holiday jazz, featuring some of Portlands top musicians.Domo Branch (drums)Garrett Baxter (bass)Matt Sazima (piano)Chris Shuttleworth (trombone)Mieke Bruggeman (baritone sax & bass clarinet)John Nastos (tenor & soprano saxOlivia Fields (alto sax)Leon Cotter (clarinet)Cyrus Nabipoor (trumpet)Wynton Marsalis Crescent City Christmas Card has been a holiday staple for me since adolescence, long before I actually moved to New Orleans. I wish I could remember who gave it to me, all I know is that I got the CD as a teenager and was instantly taken with the unique arrangements. Here were holiday classics played in ways I had never imagined. Lush, brooding, festive and jarring, Wyntons orchestrations reject the commercially simplistic holiday cheer, calling instead upon a multitude of complex emotions. Surely, this is a more honest representation of the human spirit during the Holiday Season?To present this ambitious music, Ive assembled a stellar lineup of Portlands finest. The music calls for a nine-piece group, and I am fortunate to have an embarrassment of riches from which to choose. If you want a festive celebration of the highest musicianship Portlands jazz scene has to offer, look no further. - CyrusCyrus Nabipoor is a trumpeter, composer, arranger and educator.
