NIght 11 of the Improv Fest: Turn! Turn! Turn! Thursday, October 23, 2025 8 PM | $15–$30 8 NE Killingsworth St, Portland An evening of adventurous, genre-pushing music featuring some of Portland’s most fearless players: Reed Wallsmith (alto saxophone) Co-founder of Blue Cranes, Reed brings a bold, globally informed voice to contemporary jazz, shaped by his work in Nicaragua, the Northwest scene, and commissions from major ensembles and dance companies. Lisa Lipton (clarinet) A dynamic musician and cultural organizer, Lisa balances classical finesse with experimental edge. She’s led orchestras, performed in indie festivals, and appeared on major film soundtracks. Kyleen King (viola) A sought-after session musician and arranger, Kyleen’s touring credits include Brandi Carlile, and her strings have graced recordings by First Aid Kit, The Decemberists, and more. Shao Way Wu (contrabass) Known for his deep tone and intuitive improvisation, Shao-Way has been a pillar of creative jazz in Portland, collaborating across genres and pushing sonic boundaries. Tim DuRoche (drums, little instruments) A fixture in the experimental jazz world, Tim’s collaborations span continents and decades. He’s known for turning rhythm into storytelling, with credits on labels like ESP-Disk and PCJE Records. Ben Woodman Trio Guitarist, trumpet player, and composer Ben Woodman leads this razor-sharp trio with Brent Carmer (bass) and Sam Berrett (drums). Their music explores the outer edges of the guitar trio format blending tightly composed ideas with moments of free improvisation. The result is raw, emotional, and deeply musical, a reflection of Woodman’s search for honesty and risk in sound. Jarret Tetsuo Domen A solo electric guitarist whose work is built on texture, atmosphere, and feeling. Using a rich palette of pedals and effects, Jarret’s playing merges ambient soundscapes with bursts of improvised intensity. His voice as a composer reflects his identity as an Asian American artist navigating tradition and experimentation. This is not background music; it’s a night of expression, exploration, and deep listening. Poster by @devin_._jane_._
