Oregon Piano Summit II
featuring Gordon Lee, Tom Grant, Ramsey Embick and Mac Potts with Phil Baker (Pink Martini) & Mel Brown
Incredible blending of piano styles and “creative tension.”
Gordon Lee, Piano
“World class” (Jazz Times)…”Highly creative music” (Jazz Society of Oregon)…”Music that brims over with life, energy and uplifting passion” (Boston Post-Gazette)
Tom Grant, Piano
“Tom plays with inventiveness, elegance and economy. Certainly one of the best players on the scene” (Jeff Lorber)
Ramsey Embick, Piano
“Ramsey is Portland’s ‘El Jefe’ of Latin-jazz piano. He can conjure up a big city numba riot, a la Eddie Palmieri, unlike any bandleader around” (Tim DuRoche, Oregonian A&E)
Mac Potts, Piano
“A veteran blues musician at age 20, (Mac’s) playing can best be described as a wicked red-hot wow factor on his keyboard” (AXS Entertainment)
Phil Baker, Bass
“Baker has made many Northwest musicians sound incredible over the years, and he also composes his own tunes, which makes him a consummate musician, not just a bassist.” (Kyle O’Brien, The Oregonian)
Mel Brown, Drums
“Any recorded output by master drummer Mel Brown is a cause for celebration. If I didn’t know Brown was a Portland native, his churning rhythm ‘n grit grooves could easily be taken for Detroit, Memphis or New Orleans finest fare” (Jazz Review)
