Last January’s performance with Park- er’s Oregon-based quartet offered the North Coast a stirring night of original compositions with Park- er’s luid and electric style. During this visit to the West Coast, Parker will debut new compositions from his up-coming album. A multifaceted perform- er and composer, Parker has written for everything from small jazz groups and chamber ensembles to full symphony orchestra. With a long list of original works, he heads his own group that offers a diverse lineup of Latin, funk and straight- ahead jazz. Contemporary jazz icons Randy Brecker, SUBMITTED PHOTO Jazz pianist Chris Parker will perform July 29 at KALA. Bob Mintzer, Chris Vadala and Lyn Seaton have all per- formed with Parker’s band. Originally from Portland, Parker holds a bachelor and a master degree in music composition. He taught mu- sic theory and jazz classes at Clatsop Community College for nine years before moving to New York where he has been professor of music and head of jazz studies at SUNY Orange for the past few decades. A New York Chancellor’s Award winner, Parker engages and inspires students as he teaches them the skills they will need as future musicians. His two CDs on the OA2 label, “Late in Lisbon” and the newly released “Full Circle,” feature the unusu- al frontline of saxophone and violin. The albums are a mix of Parker’s original jazz compositions ranging in style from burning Latin and straight ahead, to funky tunes and laid-back ballads. Reviewing “Late in Lisbon,” MusicDish Assistant Edtior Ben Ohmart said, “Parker is one of the greats ... not simply because he knows how to play piano, but he knows how to write some truly memorable piano-driven jazz.” Parker will lead a quartet for the KALA show with premiere Northwest jazz art- ists Rob Davis on tenor and soprano saxophones, Dave Captein on bass, and Charlie Doggett on drums. Tickets in advance are $15 and available atbrown- papertickets.com through July 27. Call KALA 503- 338-4878 for availability after July 27. Tickets will cost $16 at the door.
