Origin Story meets David Bixler
At a glance
About this event
Pianist Greg Felton, bassist Cormac OBrien and drummer Matthew Jacobson have accumulated almost 30 years of history as collaborators and friends and have been involved in many of the most artistically successful projects in creative Irish music in that time. Since 2016, they have been writing and performing together as a trio.
Origin Story’s music is informed by all of these shared experiences and results in provocative and interactive writing and playing, equally influenced by the origins of the jazz tradition and contemporary innovations.
David Bixler is a saxophonist, composer, and educator whose work occupies the fertile ground where jazz meets diverse global traditions. As the leader of Auction Project, Bixler has garnered critical acclaim— including four stars in Downbeat—for his innovative blending of traditional Irish music with Afro-Cuban and contemporary jazz. This foundation in Afro-Latin music was built over a decade-long residency at Birdland with the Chico O'Farrill Afro-Cuban Big Band, culminating in a Latin GRAMMY for the recording Final Night at Birdland.
Origin Story meets David Bixler is presented in association with Improvised Music Company.
