Description du concert
ecked out in bespoke tuxedos to perform an elegant fusion of state-of-the-art jazz and classical music in the world’s most august concert halls, the Modern Jazz Quartet set an unimpeachable musical and sartorial standard for 45 years (1952-1997). Led by Portland, Oregon piano master Darrell Grant, MJ New is a virtuoso quartet inspired by the MJQ’s chamber jazz aesthetic. MJ New both pays homage to the legendary quartet and imagines a distinctly new sound featuring San Francisco bassist, composer and YBG Festival artist-in-residence Marcus Shelby, Portland vibraphonist Mike Horsfall and veteran drummer Cecil Brooks III.

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.

Biographie de Darrell Grant
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.
