The Don Latarski Trio, possessing a musical style that
encompasses jazz and classical influences, will open for Dan
Siegle's Farewell to Eugene Concert at the Hult Center, October
15.
The Trio, which consists of Don Latarski, guitar, Kevin Deitz,
string bass, and Dan Stueber, percussion, "tries to make classical
music fun," according to Don Latarski. He notes that the music
they have been rehearsing for the concert is "difficult, with very
unique arrangements, requiring a lot of technique and skill."
Since the sound differs from Siegle’s, Latarski sees the concert as
a "good match of styles."
No strangers to the local jazz scene, the Trio members and
the Don Latarski Croup members Jeff Homan, saxaphone/flute,
and Max Leake, keyboards, have many project^ in the works. Just
released is the Croup's second album, "Lifeline," which Latarski
emphasizes is a "radical departure" from the preceding album,
"Haven."
Latarski characterizes "Lifeline" as being "high energy and
more upbeat, stronger rhythmically, and making a more powerful
musical statement." He feels that the Croup's style is accessible
and compares it to that of jazz artists Pat Metheny and Crover
Washington, Jr., who are presently enjoying commercial success.
Planning to focus on the West Coast — "cultivating the
market in our own backyard" — Latarski sees a bright future for
both the Group and the Trio. He is confident that each will open
doors for the other. In furthering this local involvement, the Trio
will be participating in this year's Oregon Bach Festival.
