Greg Goebel - keys
Noah Mortola - drums
Garrett Baxter - bass
Leon Cotter - saxophone/clarinet
Saxophone/clarinet Leon Cotter has led a musical double life, spending much of the last decade touring the country with soul/blues band The California Honeydrops, while maintaining a reputation as a sought after sideman in Portland’s local jazz scene. This April, he returns to the 1905 with an all star band: Greg Goebel on keys, Garrett Baxter on bass and Noah Mortola on drums. They’ll be playing mostly original music, much of it influenced by South African, Congolese and Nigerian music, with a dose of Coltrane and New Orleans second line thrown in.
