The 1905's Upcoming Shows

TICKETS $50 | ALL AGES

Buster Williams - bass

Domo Branch - drums

George Colligan - piano

The 1905 is honored to welcome legendary bassist Buster Williams back to Portland for two unforgettable nights of music.

A towering figure in jazz for more than six decades, Buster Williams has performed alongside generations of the music's greatest artists—from Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, and Nancy Wilson to Sonny Rollins, McCoy Tyner, and countless others. His rare appearances are more than concerts—they are opportunities to experience a living master whose artistry continues to shape the sound of modern jazz.

Joining Buster is acclaimed pianist George Colligan, returning home to Portland after a remarkable year-long sabbatical devoted to performing and collaborating with some of today's most celebrated musicians, including Buster Williams, Ravi Coltrane, Chris Botti, and many others. George brings back a wealth of fresh inspiration, musical ideas, and creative energy that promise to make these performances truly unique.

Completing the trio is beloved local, powerhouse drummer Domo Branch, whose commanding musicianship has earned him performances with jazz luminaries including Wynton Marsalis. His dynamic interplay and deep musicality make him one of the most exciting drummers of his generation.

When three artists of this caliber share the stage, the result is something that can't be rehearsed or replicated... an evening of spontaneous conversation, fearless creativity, and world class jazz at its highest level.

These are intimate performances with extremely limited seating, and Buster Williams' appearances at The 1905 are rare. Whether you've followed his extraordinary career for decades or are discovering him for the first time, this is one of those special weekends that will be remembered long after the final note.

Four shows only. October 23 & 24. Reserve your seats early.

Performing music by icons of early jazz such as Jelly Roll Morton, Duke Ellington, Clarence Williams, and Bix Beiderbecke, as well as lesser known musical stylists, territory bands, and innovators such as Bennie Moten, Alex Hill, and Jabbo Smith, the Bridgetown Sextet has cemented its reputation as a favorite among both listening audiences and dancers in the Pacific Northwest. The band was founded in 2008 by Andrew Oliver and Scott Kennedy and has seen various personnel changes over the years as band members have come and gone from the Portland area. Now a seven-piece band with the recent additions of Sam Dechenne on trumpet and Tyson Stubelek on drums, as well as Andrew’s return from London in 2020, the Sextet continues to refine its visceral, joyful, and authentic approach to traditional jazz, stomp, and swing. The band has performed at the Portland Jazz Festival, Portland Lindy Exchange, Camp Jitterbug in Seattle, the Seaside Jazz Festival, traditional jazz socities around the Northwest, and all the major Portland area clubs past and present including the Jack London Revue, the 1905, Jimmy Mak’s, the Blue Monk, Secret Society and Duff’s Garage.
