Patrick Wolff with special guest Randy Porter

Patrick Wolff is a jazz saxophone and clarinet player with a long history in the jazz scenes of New York City and San Francisco. His playing has been characterized by a focus on lyricism and an embrace of the whole lineage of jazz styles. For this special set, he will be playing with one of the great jazz pianists on the West Coast, Portland’s Randy Porter. Grammy-nominated Porter is a rare stylist who has crafted a freewheeling and adventurous approach rooted in classic bebop language. He has appeared as a sideman with Art Farmer, Clifford Jordan, and as a regular member of Charles McPherson’s band. Joined by one of the Bay Area’s finest drum and bass teams, Smith Dobson and John Wiitala, this will be a special night of the finest bop and post bop repertoire.
