On July 28, Porgy & Bess welcomes a quintet assembled by Tim Ries — someone with excellent taste and a mild disrespect for borders.

Tyrolean/New York trumpeter Franz Hackl — composer, bandleader, educator, instrument maker, and founder/artistic director of Outreach Music Festival & Academy — joins New York saxophonist Tim Ries, with whom he plays on both sides of the Atlantic. Ries’ musical passport has been stamped by deep jazz, global stages, and decades with the Rolling Stones. He has stood close to the machinery of rock history, but he also knows the essential jazz truth: the real event is not the résumé. It is what happens after the first note, when everybody has to tell the truth in real time.

From Budapest comes the Kálmán Oláh Trio: Kálmán Oláh on piano, György Orbán on bass, and Elemér Balázs on drums. Not accompaniment. Not decoration. Three major European jazz artists, composers and improvisers, with their own gravity and fire. Oláh’s Thelonious Monk composition award is one official hint that something serious is going on. The music itself will explain the rest.

Expect originals, standards, and a Stones tune or two rearranged by Ries — not polished for safe museum use, but opened up, questioned, bent, loved, and sent back into the world slightly wiser and better dressed.

Tim Ries is also part of Franz Hackl’s Outreach Orchestra — so after hearing them at Porgy & Bess, a trip to the Outreach Music Festival in Schwaz, Tyrol, comes highly recommended. For several excellent reasons: outreachmusic.org
