For the past several years my quartet has presented its take on several different David Bowie albums, all of which have been either sold out shows or very close to a sold out evening at the Jack London Revue in downtown Portland, OR. So for this installment, we’ll be tackling Bowie’s 1973 record Aladdin Sane.
What makes Bowie’s music interesting is that unlike many of his contemporaries, he didn’t rest on his past hits to sustain his career. Instead, he kept creating, and in a way that was an honest expression of his musical interests. And while he continued to evolve with the times, he still stayed true to the musical theatre, rock & roll, R&B, and Jazz aesthetic that marked the beginning of his career as an artist. And as such, this kind of creative ethos is what makes his music and what we do as a group so compatible. Therefore, we look forward to showcasing yet again what can be created when two different musical aesthetics collide (yet joined by the same creative ethos).
This performance will consist of an early and late show. So click the following links for more info and tickets for either show.
