The Cave Schedule for May 28-31
This week’s press release from The Cave:
Wednesday May 28th: NANCY KING INVITATIONAL
“She is, I think, one of the best singers that ever walked the planet.”
- Karrin Allyson, Jazz Vocalist
–Nancy has been nominated Female Vocalist of the year by the Jazz Journalist Association!–
This week Nancy invites the prodigious, very talented, and quite young pianist Dan Gaynor. Dan is also what in basketball would be called a “play maker”. He sets up opportunities for other people to score.
Thursday May 29th: ALAN JONES PRESENTS…
a very unique musical experience. From New York City comes Alexander Berne, a soprano saxophone player who plays unlike anyone on earth. Can’t really explain it…probably best just to come and see for yourself. Alan and Alexander will be joined by the great Portland veteran and Pink Martini bassist Phil Baker.
Friday May 30th: THE RANDY PORTER TRIO
There are few more interesting, more talented, or just plain better piano players on earth. Randy has recently been out on the road with Gino Vannelli and with Diana Schuur…they agree with the above statement. Randy brings a special trio to the cave…Justin Durrie bass and Reinhardt Meltz drums.
Saturday May 31st: RANDY PORTER’S NEW MUSIC PROJECT
For Saturday night it’s Randy getting especially creative with an eclectic combination of great musicians, mixing concepts and genres to create “new music”. Come check out a very special event featuring Jarrod Lawson keyboards and vocals, Reinhardt Meltz drums, Dan Balmer guitar + mystery guests.
The Cave is located at 636 SW Jackson. Music starts at 8 PM and there is a $5 cover charge.
