Left Coast

Seamlessly blending classic influences with contemporary creativity, Left Coast's original compositions showcase personal experiences and narratives from the Pacific Northwest and it's vibrant music community. With a dynamic interplay between horns and rhythm section, the ensemble captures the essence of jazz traditions while infusing an inventive improvisational spirit.

Left Coast Quartet takes inspiration from the events in our lives that give us joy and inspire us to continue as creative artists.

"Peak Viewing Hour" is a reference to the beautiful mountain that we sit in the shadow of on a clear Pacific Northwest day.

"Post Alley Strut" highlights the creative jazz community that has been forged over the last 25 years at the Owl 'N Thistle during the weekly jam session.

Each of these songs is an ode to the local community we cherish and the beautiful environment we occupy, all while paying homage to the artists that paved the way before us.
