BIRD & BECKETT CULTURAL LEGACY PROJECT

Patrick Wolff, sax
Randy Porter, piano
Eric Markowitz, bass
Evan Hughes, drums
Saxophonist Wolff joins forces with highly acclaimed Grammy-nominated pianist Porter for a couple of sets of creative, swinging jazz. Long associated through their yearly involvement with the Stanford Jazz Workshop, these two musicians share the core musical values of the bebop era and the music that grew out of it. Backed by the irrepressible swing of Eric Markowitz and Evan Hughes, one of the Bay Area’s great rhythm section pairings, the band will jump head first into the wittiest tunes of the canon, from composers like Cole Porter and Thelonious Monk.
