The first time in Texas, for one night only, world-renowned saxophonist JON IRABAGON!

The winner of the 2008 Thelonious Monk Saxophone Competition, Irabagon has since topped both the Rising Star Alto Saxophone and the Rising Star Tenor Saxophone categories in the DownBeat Magazine Critics’ Poll and been named one of Time Out New York’s 25 New York City Jazz Icons. Jon was also named 2012 Musician of the Year in The New York City Jazz Record and is an integral member of such high-profile ensembles as: the Mary Halvorson Quintet, Septet and Octet; the Dave Douglas Quintet; and Barry Altschul’s 3Dom Factor.

Jon will be performing a set of solo saxophone music as exemplified on his recent release “Inaction is an Action,” as well as a quartet set featuring music from his recent quartet release “Dr. Quixotic’s Traveling Exotics” (both available now from Irabagast Records).

Quartet set to feature Irabagon alongside Jon Lundbom on guitar, Sam Pankey on bass, and Richard Huntley on drums. Interstitial music curated and spun by Violet Sound.
