Ben Darwish's Commotion
9 pm, Saturday March 26 | $8
[FUNKJAZZPARTY] Pianist Ben Darwish is best known for his scintillating jazz, but his Afrobeat funk freak alter ego has enlisted nine other closet funksters amid Portland’s jazz community, including guitarist Dan Duval and saxophonist John Nastos, moonlighting members of Trio Subtonic, Curtis Salgado’s band, Blue Cranes and more. For this dance party, the
revamped lineup, with simpatico guests, including singer Jans Ingber and veterans of the Motet and Mingus Big Band, may unleash some of its popular Afrobeat Michael Jackson tunes and other pop-funk-jazz mash-ups, but whatever it plays is certain to live up to the group's name.
