TICKETS $20 - 21+ PLEASE Dave Hagen - drums Paul Moyer - keys Patrick Golichnik - bass Pablo Rivarola - trumpet Vision of trumpeter Pablo Rivarola, Alive Music represents the culmination of his musical and personal growth. Featuring pianist Paul Moyer, bassist Patrick Golichnik and drummer David Hagen, Alive Music seeks to push the boundaries of improvised music and discover the parallels it has to each of our lives. Within the jazz idiom, this unit has found a way to look both to the past and the future simultaneously and find what the result is in the present moment. Each show becomes a fully new and unique experience, often feeling like the band wrote the songs on the spot; the sensitivity, compassion, presence and love each member of the band has for each other being so palpable that it bleeds into the audience. The band doesn't rehearse but rather, shows up as they are and honors the emotions they feel in that moment and brings it to the music. This makes the music feel more like being together with your loved ones rather than a specifically curated or planned experience. More so than ever, the music feels like a living and breathing thing hence the name. To this band, music serves as an act of compassion; it's their way of putting love into the world. Since arriving to Portland in 2018, Pablo Rivarola has cemented himself as truly one of the most unique voices in the scene. Native of Seattle, Pablo studied music at Whitman College and continued his studies under the tutelage of Alan Jones who helped him discover his creative identity. Each note he plays feels straight from the heart, channeling a sensitivity that is so reflective of his personality. To Pablo, the trumpet is more of a personal journey than a musical one. Always striving to be present, music has come to represent a way of being to Pablo, always wearing his heart on his sleeve in every performance. Because of this, he can almost be seen no longer as a trumpeter but rather, a voice seeking to embody compassion in his art.
