MUSIC OF WAYNE SHORTER FOR BRASS
w/Tom Varner, Thomas Marriott and Dave Marriott

from Tom Varner:
Tom Varner, Thomas Marriott, David Marriott: The Wayne’ing Brass (New Looks at the Music of Wayne Shorter, with a brass trio–trumpet, horn, trombone, with piano, bass, and drums). With Bill Anschell, piano, Phil Sparks, bass, and Matt Jorgensen, drums.

I have always loved the soulful, intelligent, and searching music of Wayne Shorter, from his three-horn writing for Art Blakey to his more recent projects such as “Alegria.” I’m really excited that the David and Thomas Marriott will join me on an “all-brass Shorter celebration,” and I’m sure that the crack rhythm section of Anschell, Sparks, and Jorgensen will UP the party and keep us honest. A big thanks to David M. for providing the lion’s share of the charts. I haven’t played with a tpt/bone/horn sextet since moving to Seattle in ’05, and I LOVE this sound. Come on over and join us at Tula’s this Saturday, July 24!

from The Seattle Times:

Twice this summer, Monktail Creative Concern presents Sounds Outside, a free festival of modern jazz in Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill. Now in its fifth year, Sounds Outside is a form of forced exposure — make your way through the park on Saturday or Aug. 14, and there’s no way to miss the music. The bills typically focus on the more adventurous, less traditional end of the jazz spectrum — playful, experimental, more appropriate for noisy rock clubs than formal jazz venues.

The Pacific Jazz Institute at Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley presents saxophonist Hadley Caliman with trumpeter Thomas Marriott. Joining them will be Bill Anschell (piano), Phil Sparks (bass) and Matt Jorgensen (drums). Show time is 7:30pm, doors will open at 6:00pm.

Tenor saxophonist Hadley Caliman is part of the living history of jazz music in America. From Dexter Gordon to Freddie Hubbard to Santana to Phoebe Snow through to his recent critically-acclaimed “Gratitude,” Hadley Caliman’s 78 years has been filled with the kind of personal achievement that all creative artists strive for. His influence on the sound of modern jazz music can be heard on many of his albums as a leader. On “Straight Ahead,” Hadley Caliman visits some of his favorite tunes including his old friend Harold Land’s “Rapture,” the Lee Morgan classic “Totem Pole,” and with his own original “Cigar Eddie,” he provides a spirited opening to another classic recording. Featuring his working Seattle band with trumpeter Thomas Marriott, pianist Eric Verlinde, Phil Sparks on bass, and Matt Jorgensen on drums, “Straight Ahead” is another clear example of a living legend in top form.
