Chris Lee Sextet

Event begins: 10:30 PM
Drummer Chris Lee assembles Portland jazz luminaries for his second release on PJCE Records.
This event is part of the Montavilla Jazz Festival Lineup.
Chris Lee, a stalwart of the Portland jazz scene, offers a sonic meditation on his home with Green in Grey. The album, a collaboration with a who’s who of the city’s jazz elite – Dan Balmer (guitar), Greg Goebel (piano), Dave Captein (bass), Thomas Barber (trumpet), and John Nastos (woodwinds) – is a work that captures the essence of the Pacific Northwest with verdant, atmospheric sections, as well as dense, complex compositions.
In Lee’s words:
My second album for PJCE Records is an homage to the people whose music has had the biggest impact on my musical perspective. Particularly, the stable of ECM artists, such as Kenny Wheeler, John Taylor, Art Lande, Dave Holland, Tomasz Stanko, Enrico Rava, Keith Jarrett, Jan Garbarek, and Eberhard Weber. Some of the pieces are also very rooted to a sense of place.
The Chris Lee Sextet will be performing music from their latest PJCE Records release Green In Grey.
Portland’s most adventurous jazz festival enters its second decade with a three-day village-style celebration of local, world-class artistry with more than 30 concerts and events across 12 venues.
