Early Show-Black Tie/White Noise: Low with The Christopher Brown Quartet

Early Show - Black Tie/White NoiseDoors: 6:00pm Show: 7:00pm Ages 21+ oin us for the seventh installment of Black Tie/White Noise, where The Christopher Brown Quartet will perform David Bowie's 1977 album, Low, in its entirety. The first LP of the famous Berlin Trilogy, Low is regarded as the Rosetta Stone to the post-punk and post-rock lineage. In regards to the emotional approach of sonic atmosphere and most significantly, the production, there is no doubt to the confidence of David Bowie's indulgence in his , "rdquo" -> sound and vision" and his bravery to be an artist at all costs (so much so that RCA tried to hinder the album's release.) It's with this in mind that The Christopher Brown Quartet evaluates, dissects and reassembles the songs from this seminal record. Be prepared! John Nastos (Alto Sax & EWI) Chris Clark-Johnson (Electric Guitar) Greg Goebel (Keyboards) Damian Erskine (Electric Bass) Christopher Brown (Drums) For more information on Days of Bowie, including other events, please visit daysofbowie.com While the Christopher Brown Quartet has been active since 2014, it has arguably been the busiest jazz group in Portland since 2017. And just like his father [Mel Brown] before him, Christopher has been on a quest to further infuse the Portland jazz scene with as many of the same musical and cultural sensibilities as is to be found within the NYC jazz scene. However, what separates this group from many others (in and outside of Portland), is the degree to which their sensibilities are entrenched within the NYC sound of the 1990's, which was marked by a youthful exuberance towards being steeped in as much of the history of music as possible, so as to use those same insights to agitate the boundaries of conventional thought. So given that David Bowie's approach to music follows the same ethos, is why it's so fitting to have the Christopher Brown Quartet navigate his music, so as to further push against the edges of what people would normally expect from Bowie himself.
