The Woods Thursday!
Posted on | February 27, 2010 | No Comments
This Thursday at The Woods, one of Portland’s newest and most intriguing venues (an ex-funeral parlor, in fact!), my sextet will be performing alongside A Cautionary Tale, a great member of the vibrant indie-rock scene here. Advance tickets are available here from Brown Paper Tickets (Only $7 for 2 bands!). We’re looking forward to this venue and bill!
Pampelmoose has some nice things to say in their preview: “Andrew Oliver is just one of a new generation of composers and performers that are dazzling the Portland jazz scene over the last 5 years or so. Tonight, he takes to the stage of The Woods with his Sextet, a sharp combo that works a cool jazz/post-bop vibe that pulls in rhythms and energy from the influences of world music, indie rock, and radio pop. Pay particular attention to the loving and lovely interplay between the group’s two sax players Mary-Sue Tobin and Willie Matheis and their sharp, nimble guitar player Dan Duval. When they weave around each other, it can turn into a beautiful kind of tangled mess of interlocking melodies and ideas.”
Phew! Hope we can pull that off…OK, see you Thursday!
