The Driff Winter Festivalette will feature Jorrit Dijkstra's PorchBone, and the Duo Pandelis Karayorgis/Jeb Bishop.
Jorrit Dijkstra's PorchBone is an extension of The Porch Trio with a section of three trombonists. This project juxtaposes the abstract, improvised sounds of The Porch Trio against the velvety sound of a trombone section, inspired by the sound of the Duke Ellington and Sun Ra big bands. The group plays a mixture of compositions by Jorrit Dijkstra and free improvisations by all members. This project was premiered at the Driff Fest 2021, and this concert will feature new compositions by Jorrit Dijkstra, in anticipation of a recording session and future CD release on Driff Records.
The Duo Karayorgis/Bishop celebrates their latest CD release "Duals" on Driff Records, featuring original compositions and improvisations.
