Rhys Tivey (NYC), Ben Darwish, & Marimba Mike: a HAUS Show

H.A.U.S. (Handpicked And Unfiltered Series) Shows presents an intimate night of world class jazz in a living room in Portland, OR.

Innovative jazz trumpeter Rhys Tivey joins us from New York City. In the two years Tivey led the resident jazz quartet of Gallagher's in Manhattan, he was joined by legendary jazz vocalist Jon Hendricks, along with top players such as Gilad Heckselman, Francois Moutin, Andy Milne, Lou Soloff, Tony Moreno and Dave Pietro. He spent time in Instanbul improvising solo trumpet accompaniments to yoga classes at the city's major studio, Cihangir Yoga. While enrolled at NYU for jazz, he performed around the world (Florence, Buenos Aires, Oaxaca etc.), and studied with trumpet masters Ralph Alessi, Brian Lynch, and Michael Rodriguez.
