Creative Composers Community of Portland
This is a community band that forms to collectively arrive at new compositions through a range of methods and improvised structures, writing a new language for the scoring of music. The musicians are faced with themselves without absolute structure. They are faced with each other without an absolute composer or conductor. The Creative Composers got its start less than a year ago, but these players have been performing together for a decade. Founded by J.P. Jenkins and Heather Vergotis, who are long time collaborators in improvised groups and projects such as the 411 Collective and Cexfucx. Upright Bassist and founding collaborator, Gregg Skloff will be joining the group along with Doug Haning, Sean Ongley, Kelvin Pittman, Todd Dickerson, and more tba, kicking off the FullDay at Noon.
