Tonight you get a Jiggs-Potter double whammy at Memorial High School – it’s the Eau Claire Jazz Fest in full effect, yo. Tenor saxophonist Chris Potter has been described by the Detroit Free Press as, “…easily the most compelling saxophonist of his generation.” Potter performed on Steely Dan’s Grammy-nominated album and was also nominated for his own Grammy award for “Best Instrumental Jazz Solo” on Joanne Brackeen’s Pink Elephant Magic. He is the youngest recipient ever to receive the annual Danish Jazzpar Prize. At age 17, trombonist Oliver “Jiggs” Whigham was a featured soloist and first trombone in the Glenn Miller Orchestra. In 1979, he was named Professor and Head of the Jazz Department at Cologne University College of Music, the first appointment of its kind in Germany. He is currently a soloist and clinician worldwide, conductor of the BBC Big Band in Great Britain and artistic director of the Berlin Jazz Orchestra. Details!
