Frank Irwin Quintet
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Presented by PJCE Records. The Frank Irwin Quintet will bring its evocative brand of jazz to The 1905. Inspired by his work as a middle school teacher, bassist/composer Chris Frank lets the humanity of music shine through his compositions and arrangements, embracing a songbook that takes listeners through an eclectic array of genres, from show tunes to fusion, all told through the infinite idiom of jazz. The band includes some of Portland's finest young jazz talent: Ian Christensen – saxophone, James Powers – trombone, Corey Heppner – guitar and Alexander Thomas – drums, with Nicole McCabe as a special guest on saxophone.
