On Friday, Dec. 7, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., acclaimed jazz percussionist Ari Hoenig and his band, The Ari Hoenig Trio, will perform in the Visual Arts Theatre on the Mt. Hood Community College campus.
Maybe audience should be careful of any angry, chair-throwing conductors during this jazz concert, because Ari Hoenig is practically the real-life aspiring drummer Andrew Neiman from the movie “Whiplash.”
(Let’s just hope a discontented J. K. Simmons doesn’t find his way into the crowd.)
Born to a pair of musicians, Hoenig began his musical career as early as age 4 and began to refine his skills with many other young talents by age 12.
Currently residing in New York, where he teaches music at New York University, and a dedicated jazz percussionist, Hoenig’s passion lays with the drum kit and the experimental, melodic possibilities that lay within it.
An accomplished musician in his own right, Hoenig has produced several studio albums, live-show DVDs, and even a series of online tutoring videos.
His music is almost exclusively jazz-oriented and is often experimental, favoring complex and wonderful percussion tracks.
So, jazz fans should be prepared to enjoy the melodic, cool rhythms of his trio during two-hour set at Mt. Hood.
