Check out this clip of the Carlton Jackson/Dave Mills Big Band that Oregon Art Beat ran back when Tom D’Antoni was their music critic.  Check the tags on the right for a list of musicians appearing in the clip.

Once again, saxophonist Rob Scheps is rolling through town, and as usual, he has gathered together some of Portland’s best (think Stan Bock, Tim Gilson, Rich Cooper, etc) to play big band music at Disjecta.  For this event, Scheps is bringing saxophonist/clarinetist/composer Frank Perowsky from New York as a featured composer and soloist.  Expect to hear music from both Scheps and Perowsky as well as charts from the likes of Larry Young, Bill Frisell, and Duke Ellington.

The show takes place on Thursday, October 9th and 8 PM.  Tickets are $10.  Disjecta is located at 8371 N Interstate Avenue in Portland.
