BAKER CITY — An afternoon of jazz is coming to Baker City’s Geiser-Pollman Park when the Matt Cooper Quintet takes the stage for the Powder River Music Revue concert series on Sunday, Aug. 18.

The music is from 4-6 p.m. at the Powder River Pavilion in the park — snag a bench or bring your own chair or blanket.

Admission is free, although the audience can support the concert by buying raffle tickets ($5 each or $20 for five) for prizes, such as gift cards donated by local businesses. Also, season memberships are available for $35.

The quintet features Matt Cooper, Jeff Sizer, Greg Johnson, Tim Green and Andy Steele.

“Listeners can expect to hear five outstanding jazz performers from the Northwest assembled together for the first time, performing original arrangements of jazz, pop and Latin standards,” Cooper said.

Selections include “Have You Met Miss Jones,” “Hello Young Lovers,” “What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life,” “Stella by Starlight,” “Yardbird Suite” and Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway’s “Where is the Love.”

Sizer, who plays trombone, was the longtime director of the Baker High School jazz and concert bands. He recently retired from his career as a public school music educator and returned to his native Seattle, where he performs frequently with a number of Seattle’s top jazz and funk units. He is also a prolific and skilled jazz arranger, and is contributing several original arrangements to this band’s “book,” Cooper said.

Greg Johnson, saxophone, is a graduate of the University of North Texas jazz program. He teaches woodwinds, music theory and jazz studies at Eastern Oregon University, where he directs and writes for the 45th Parallel Ensemble. He performs with jazz, rock and symphonic organizations in Northeast Oregon.

Andrew Steele, drum set, was raised by two music professors at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania and his “jazz roots go deep,” Cooper said. Currently based out of Walla Walla, Washington, he is also a collaborator with experimental music and video artists including Seth Kinzie and Bart Budwig.

Tim Green, bass, is a native of Chicago and a recent transplant to Boise. He was a co-leader on the original music album “Lake Effect” by the Tim Green-Jeff Morrison Quartet.

“Tim has a wealth of experience performing in the Midwest as well as in his newly adopted city,” Cooper said.

Cooper, who plays piano, recently retired from a 31-year college music teaching career. And he’s busy playing throughout the Northwest, Midwest and beyond — his calendar includes upcoming shows in Joseph, Boise, and Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio.
