ABAC Presents - Derek Brown, saxophone, with the ABAC Jazz Ensemble

Event Description:

From his 30+ million views across social media to his appearance on international television and NPR’s Weekend Edition, Billboard-charting saxophonist/innovator Derek Brown and his one-of-a-kind solo “BEATBoX SAX” project has been exploding across the world music scene. As described by jazz journalist/historian Scott Yanow, "Brown performs unaccompanied solos that occasionally make one recall Bobby McFerrin in his early prime and the great saxophonist Eddie Harris . . . utilizing slap-tonguing, circular breathing, a wide interest in musical styles and dazzling coordination to create rather unique music." The innovative jazz style of Brown will be featured in this performance as soloist accompanied by the ABAC Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Scott Phillips. Together, Brown and the Jazz Ensemble will provide a compelling musical experience you cannot miss.
