Thursday, September 25 8 p.m. - $5-15 donation welcomed - all ages On July 11th of this year, the music world lost the monumental musician Charlie Haden, a man who completely reinvented the approach to the double bass in jazz music. With an amazing career that spanned five decades, he is known for his groundbreaking, reinvention of jazz harmony and structure. From Ornette Coleman’s free jazz quartet to his intensely melodic and sparse approach to duos with Pat Metheny and Keith Jarrett, to leading his own large ensemble, the fiery, politically radical Liberation Music Orchestra, he brought together his love of folk, classical, free jazz and world music. Bassist Birch Pereira, a long time admirer of Haden, has organized a night of music to pay tribute to the man and will be joined by Seattle bassists John Seman, Paul Kemmish, Geoff Harper, Carmen Rothwell, Evan Flory-Barnes, Clipper Anderson, and Michael David Marcus. Each bassist will trade off with songs from Hadens legacy that feature different sets of musicians including Jason Goessl and Tim Volpicella on guitar, Ben Krulewitch on piano, Seth Alexander, Eric Barber and Levi Gillis on saxophone, Scott Morning and Ray Larson on trumpet and Dave Abramson and Mike Gebhart on drums.
