About this concert
A decade since I first brought bassist Marcus Shelby, vibraphonist Mike Horsfall, and drummer Carlton Jackson together to play, the debut album of MJ New is coming out on October 6th! Our Mr. Jackson is a document of the birth of this ensemble; an homage to the music of John Lewis, Milt Jackson, Percy Heath, and Connie Kay; and a loving tribute to our friend Carlton who we lost too soon. Please join us for this intimate performance—we’ll share stories, music from the album and a few new pieces, raise a few glasses, and keep it cool.

CD release event for Jeff Baker & the whole supporting group was great! Darrell was his usual “greatness” on the keyboards as was everyone else ! Great show & glad we did not miss it.

Darrell Grant Biography
Since the release of his debut album Black Art, one of the New York Times' top ten jazz CDs of 1994, Darrell Grant has built an international reputation as a pianist, composer, and educator who channels the power of music to make change. He has performed throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe in venues ranging from Paris’s La Villa jazz club to the Havana Jazz Festival. Dedicated to themes of hope, community, and place, Grant’s compositions include Step by Step: The Ruby Bridges Suite honoring the civil rights icon, The Territory which explores Oregon’s landscape and history, and Sanctuaries, a jazz chamber opera exploring gentrification. Since moving to Portland, Oregon, he has been named Portland Jazz Hero by the Jazz Journalist Association, received a Northwest Regional Emmy, an Oregon Arts Commission Fellowship, a MAP Fund grant, and the Governor’s Arts Award. He is a Professor of Music at Portland State University where he directs the Artist as Citizen Initiative.
