The duo returns to The Seasons with their quirky mash-up of baroque, renaissance and jazz standards played with improv and gusto
Like many musicians with roots in the Yakima Valley, Logan Strosahl has made a name for himself nationally and internationally with 4 well-reviewed CD releases on the Sunnyside jazz label. Sunnyside has scheduled his latest release Book2 of Arthur: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight for September of this year. By co-incidence, his long-time piano collaborator, Nick Sanders is also due to release his next Sunnyside CD in September. So this seemed like a perfect time to schedule a follow concert at The Seasons.
Many have commented favorably on Logan's last appearance in in 2019. This would be a chance to hear a full concert of everything he is working on with a genius pianist and co-creater from Brooklyn, with whom he has played for over a decade.
This will be a genuine homecoming concert for Logan. He's been in Berlin, Germany earning a masters degree in music composition – writing his next book (Book II) of the Arthur Legend to follow up his intriguing mash-up of 16th Century English polyphony and modern jazz released in 2017 (Arthur, Book I).
After a dozen years in Boston and New York jazz scene, Strosahl and Sanders as a dynamic duo are known to frequently engage in exotic and wild treatments of jazz standards, baroque masterpieces, and important original works. Between them, Strosahl & Sanders have 7 CDs released on Sunnyside Records in a variety of ensembles that position them in the vanguard of a new, eclectic jazz sensibility, including one release ("Janus") that featured them together as a duo.
Strosahl is the son of Yakima residents and founders of The Seasons, Pat & Judy Strosahl. Logan spent four years at the New England Conservatory in Boston, where he met pianist Nick Sanders and formed an immediate (and long term) musical connection that has blossomed professionally and creatively ever since, i
Sanders is a musical prodigy, trained in classical piano, but emerging from the rich New Orleans jazz scene, who arrived at New England Conservatory a year earlier than Strosahl. He trained there with Fred Hersch, one of the foremost modern jazz pianists, who has continued his interest in Sanders by being a co-producer on one of the three Sanders Sunnyside releases.
The Strosahl/Sanders duo's distinctive musical footprint is an entertaining, wide-ranging taste and style, that has won rave reviews in the jazz press. It features music as distinct as French baroque, renaissance vocalizing, dissonant modern classical, as well as loving and fresh treatments of more traditional jazz, and just irresistible jazz balladry informed by improvised polyphony of a high order.
