Local Musician Spotlight: Brian Claxton Candace LeGault
BRIAN CLAXTON
His biography describes Brian Claxton as an old soul and passionate student of the history of American music. Of course, I just had to ask Brian what it means that he’s an “old soul.” He explained a bit sheepishly that this was written by his manager then did his best to explain those words. He didn’t quite succeed, saying, with ums and ers, maybe because he’s deeply into old jazz and gets along with older musicians. The same biography says he is known for his electrifying groove and rhythmic mastery. Heck, having witnessed his playing, I didn’t need to ask about this at all! I sure can see that mastery!

Briana Harris is thrilled to debut a new quintet featuring old friends and new musical explorations. In February 2021, these five musicians came together for a new recorded project with Boulder’s Octave Records. These live performances are an extension of the spontaneity, ease, and camaraderie built from that recording session. The band will perform original music from Briana that mixes hard-bop roots with chamber jazz touches, and always leaves room for unexpected collaboration. These live performances will be the public debut of many new pieces of music from Bri, which were written in the winter of pandemic isolation, reaching with optimism towards spring.
