This quartet is so amazing on so many different levels...go see 'em whilst they still exist in PDX. I really think this one could go a long way in the Jazz world!

He is a uniquely talented performer and educator, and a man in whom I trust and for whom I hold great admiration.

I used him almost exclusively in my band when he used to reside in the NYC area, as he always brought so much knowledge and artistry to the music. And combined with his multi-instrumentalist abilities, Chris Brown is a unique talent that's not often found.

Days Of Bowie: Black Tie/White Noise: Black Star

  • Jack London Revue 529 Southwest 4th Avenue Portland, OR, 97204 United States (map)

For the past several years this group has been honored with the opportunity to present a reimagining of David Bowie’s music @ The Jack London Revue in Portland, OR.—all of which have been to sold out crowds! And while 2021 put a damper on things, we’re now back with yet another installment of what has become an annual event.

The significance of this event is that it pays tribute to both Bowie’s last album release [Black Star] and his passing from Liver Cancer on Jan 10th, 2016 just two days after the album’s release (as well as his 69th birthday). And given that his final recording would be his greatest attempt at incorporating as much of the Jazz aesthetic as it did, only makes it fitting that a group such as this would be poised to best highlight and preserve Bowie’s progressive musical vision.

However, like all tributes to the memory of a well-loved individual, it wouldn’t be complete without a festive celebration of their life and past accomplishments, which is why we’ve also included a trip down memory lane with many of his old classics (done our way of course), in addition to an opportunity for us all to come together in solidarity around his memory as we collectively perform some of these songs.
