A Return to the Station – Eugene Weekly

His artistic voice comes from the tenor saxophone and it is a sound to behold. Former Eugene resident Adam Harris returns to Jazz Station with The Adam Harris Quartet August 23, and although he has played at the Jazz Station numerous times over the years, this concert marks the 10th anniversary of his first album — The Adam Harris Quintet: Live at the Jazz Station — with internationally acclaimed pianist George Colligan. In the concert, Harris plays with Chris Orsinger on bass, Adam Carlson on drums and David Morgenroth on piano. Harris has a busy schedule all over the West Coast. He has played with the likes of bassist Dave Holland, trumpeters Wynton Marsalis and Randy Brecker, and saxophonist Joshua Redman. Harris is a graduate of the Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle and the New England Conservatory in Boston and has taught at Western Oregon University. This fall, he begins a new job as a band teacher at Ashland High School.

The Adam Harris Quartet performs Friday, August 23, at 7:30 p.m. at the Jazz Station, 124 West Broadway. Tickets are $20 at TheJazzStation.org.
