From the press release for this weekend’s shows at Alan Jones’ new club: The Cave
Thursday May 8th: ALAN JONES PRESENTS…
his new Quartet of Portland all-stars Randy Porter, Rob Davis and Tom Wakeling! Collectively known (for now) as The Cavemen (clever, don’t you think…thanks Randy!) This group will be performing new original music of Alan’s along with not too common and very interesting re-workings from the modern jazz literature.
Best-known for his leadership of the Alan Jones Sextet, which for many listeners defines the essence of Portland jazz with its adventurous, hard-swinging original music, grounded in both jazz tradition and the rugged individualism of the Northwest.
Friday May 9th: THE STEVE CHRISTOFFERSON TRIO
Steve is well known as one of the most intuitive and creative vocal accompianists that exists, but he’s also one of the funkiest and most swinging of jazz piano players. Come see imagination and taste in action as Steve re-invents his outstanding trio.
Saturday May 10th: DAVID FRIESEN – SOLO BASS
A rare opportunity to hear in an intimate Portland setting what you would normally have to travel to the big European Jazz Festival stages to hear…David Freisen playing solo bass! He practically invented the genre. Weird, crazy, solo bass…that must be boring you say? Never in the hands of David!…ok maybe a little weird.
————————————————————————————
THE CAVE atmosphere blends the dim under ground funky sophistication of a fifties European Jazz club, the creative bohemian vibe of the legendary Village Vanguard in NYC, and the Oriental feel of a Persian cafe.
The Cave is an environment where inspired world-class musicians can experiment and develop their art…an environment that encourages original composition, creative project ideas, young emerging artists, and fresh new combinations of veteran players.
Excellent hand-crafted Persian food can be ordered off the Green Onion restaurant menu or from the buffet in the Cave, with plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans.
And of special note, there is a meticulously selected wine list featuring varieties that not only pair perfectly with the Persian cuisine, but are among the most interesting and exciting wines available for the price.
There is a $5 cover charge at the door.
