Mississippi Studios (3939 N. Mississippi, Portland)

Better Homes & Garden is an all-star summit meeting of local indie jazz and free-improv knockabouts, featuring saxophonists REED WALLSMITH (Blue Cranes) and JOE CUNNINGHAM (Blue Cranes, Decemberists, Charlie Hunter), bassist BOB JONES (Evolutionary Jass Band) and drummer TIM DuROCHE (Resolution 57, Jon Raskin). Occasionally they add bassist FRED CHALENOR (Robert Fripp, Elliott Sharp, Wayne Horvitz) and become Comme Il Faut, an all-Ornette Coleman project that swings like mad with its two-bass/two-horn lineup.

Tonight, Better Homes and Gardens will be performing with two upright basses for a special performance of the music of Ornette Coleman– the featured artist at the February 2008 Portland Jazz Festival and the recipient of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for music. They will be opening up for Kieskagato for their CD release party.
