Wednesday October 30th 7PM

Album release concert! Porter's new album, "Immigration Nation" features a musical storyline that is a tribute to our rich immigrant heritage in the United States. It is being released on Origin Records.
Internationally acclaimed, multiple award-winning jazz trumpeter and composer Porter relocated to the PNW from NYC where he played with, among many others, Paquito D’Rivera, Charli Persip, Joe Zawinul, David Burger’s Sultans of Swing and the Mingus Big Band. Wynton Marsalis describes Charlie’s playing as “fiery and intelligent.” He last played at WJMAC with the Nick Biello sextet. Porter is an artist not to be missed.

Lineup: Charlie Porter (composer, trumpet); Nick Biello (tenor sax); Jon Lakey (bass); Alan Jones (drums), John Hansen (piano)

Tickets available at the door after 6PM. Doors at 6:30. First come, first seated. Program subject to change.
