Bryan Smith: Let Me Take You There
Saturday, August 17, doors open: 1:00 p.m., set begins: 2:50 p.m.
Saturday Day Passes, RSVP on Facebook!
Let Me Take You There is a nature-inspired multimedia collaboration between composer/saxophonist Bryan Smith and poet/photographer Matt Spohn, aiming to bring awareness to the importance of environmental conservation.
Saxophonist, composer and educator Bryan Smith has been an active member of the jazz and improvised music scene in the Northwest. Having been a musician in both Seattle and Portland, Smith has been able to develop a unique and individualistic voice that is synonymous with West Coast jazz. Influenced by West Coast bebop with players such as Warne Marsh, Lee Konitz, and Lennie Tristano, mixed with the alternative rock of the 90’s that was popularized in the Northwest, Smith has found a way to incorporate history and regional identity in his music.
Lineup: Bryan Smith, alto sax; Matt Spohn, poetry; Ryan Meagher, guitar; Matt Tabor, piano; Andrew Jones, bass; Jonas Oglesbee, drums
