Oran Etkin: Getz/Jobim Centennial Celebration
About This Event
At Dizzy's Club, Oran Etkin leads a Getz/Jobim centennial celebration with his rhythm section, presenting material associated with Antônio Carlos Jobim and Stan Getz. Etkin's approach—melding straight-ahead improvisation, Brazilian-inflected rhythm and clear melodic lines—echoes Jobim's compositional voice and Getz's lyrical tenor, framing the repertoire as conversational interplay rather than display.
