The Granada Theatre welcomes nationally acclaimed pianist-composer Tom Grant on Saturday, Nov. 16, at 7 p.m.
Since 1983, Portland's premiere jazz pianist, Tom Grant, has consistently topped smooth jazz charts with original songs such as "Mango Tango," "Night Charade," "In My Wildest Dreams," and "The View from Here."
Grant's music bursts with lush, romantic ballads, paced by pretty piano lines and up-tempo numbers, and infused with 21st century hip-hop rhythms and R&B grooves.
In 1970, Grant went to New York to record the chant classic "Witchi-tai-to" with Native American saxophonist Jim Pepper, then left teaching to tour and record for 11 years with Woody Shaw, Joe Henderson, Charles Lloyd and Tony Williams.
Born to show-biz parents (his father was a musician and tap dancer; his mother a singer), Grant began playing the drums at age 4 but was talked into playing the piano. He learned a lot by listening to jazz recordings in his father's record store.
Tickets are $10 for general admission, $15 reserved seating. The event is for those 21 & over only.
Tickets are available at Klindt's Annex, Waucoma Bookstore or at the door, or to charge by phone call (541) 296-3355.
