Those uninitiated to the compositional and performative musicianship of Charlie Brown III need bend an ear. Tonight he performs the music of jazz icon Wayne Shorter with a quartet featuring Machado Mijiga, Garret Baxter, and David Hagen. And it's free!

It has been a delight working with Charlie in multiple capacities over the years. Whether it be closing the Cathedral Park Jazz Festival as bandleader with Time Sound, supporting the 16-piece big band he assembles with Domo Branch at Portland Center Stage each holiday season, or releasing the music of his group greaterkind on vinyl, this is yet another unique opportunity to witness the creative capacities of Charlie Brown III...in a rare quartet setting at Portland's home for Black Arts and Culture, the IFCC!
