Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in Portland

The first of many solos that can only be described as way out – Elliot Mason on trombone, followed by Ryan Kisor and Marcus Printup trading phrases on trumpet.House of Jade by Wayne Shorter: beautiful melody, quite peaceful after the Nelson arrangement.Portraits in Seven Shades, Dali by Ted Nash: written for a combined event with J@LC and MOMA…. Came time for the drum solo, all the horn players clapped hands and stomped their feet in a complex rhythmic pattern, enabling Ali Jackson, drummer, to stretch and shrink the time.~ intermission ~The Holy Ghost from a Mass written for Abyssinian Church’s 250th celebration: Ted Nash on alto and Marcus Printup on trumpet shared an improvised solo where one was mimicking the other.
