Savage/St. James/DuRoche

In the spring of 2018, Portland-based saxophonist Rich Halley invited us to perform at the Penofin Jazz Festival near Ukiah, CA. On the way down from Portland we played a number of gigs, including at Gold Lion Arts in Sacramento, CA. That performance was released as a recording by Gold Lion Arts on November 5, 2021. I had hoped that this group would record in the studio after the tour, but André sadly passed away one week after our return home. This recording is dedicated to him, and all proceeds go to Bravo Youth Orchestras in Portland, OR, where André loved teaching the next generation of musicians.
