Synopsis

Product Description
Blue Cranes are a key player in the Portland, Oregon creative music/DIY scene and are a microcosm of what
post-jazz has become at the regional level as a result of bands like The Bad Plus, The Claudia Quintet,
Happy Apple, Dave Douglas and others.
The individual members of the band bring a unique array of experiences to the group, including work with The
Decemberists, Laura Veirs, AU, Rebecca Gates, Laura Gibson, Ethan Rose, Black Prairie, and Spoon.
Swim, produced by The Decemberists' bassist Nate Query, highlights the band's song-centered aesthetic.
Guest performances by violist Eyvind Kang (Bill Frisell, Laura Veirs) and members of tUnE-yArDs, Los Lobos,
The Devil Makes Three, Portland Cello Project, Radiation City, and AU.
Blue Cranes have toured regularly up and down the West Coast since 2007 and in 2011 they embarked on a
crowd-sourced 30-day national tour by Amtrak train. More touring will commence with the release of this long-awaited
album!
Blue Cranes are: Reed Wallsmith (alto saxophone), Joe Cunningham (tenor saxophone), Rebecca Sanborn
(keyboards), Keith Brush (bass), and Ji Tanzer (drums) and this is the band's fourth full length release.
