Chris Parker brings jazz quartet to KALA
ASTORIA — New York-
based jazz pianist and com-
poser Chris Parker returns
to the KALA stage Friday,
July 29. 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,

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
