Trumpeter & composer Cyrus Nabipoor celebrates the release of his newest EP, Guts! Recorded Spring ‘24 in New Orleans, Guts is a lush and brooding trio of songs featuring two original compositions as well as a fresh take on the timeless classic After You’ve Gone.
The band will feature Jack Radsliff (gtr), Garrett Baxter (bass), Micah Hummel (drums)
“unapologetically expressive…vaporlike elegance and the limber smoothness of a dancer.”
-Willamette Week
"Nabipoor’s strength is that it is never possible to anticipate his next move...The jazz equivalent of a first-year pitcher who throws 99 m.p.h....His trumpet chops are deadly and his penetrating brass tone is classically pure (except when he turns it dirty)."
"Nabipoor’s compositions concern themselves less with fitting into one jazz idiom or another and more with a pure, almost ecstatic sense of in-the-moment expression"
