The Aaron Diehl Trio performed at the Reser Center in Beaverton, presenting a sophisticated style distinct from the typical Portland jazz scene. Dressed sharply, they captivated around 400 listeners with a precise and elegant jazz performance, incorporating lesser-known compositions. Diehl, an accomplished pianist and composer with Juilliard roots, skillfully mingled different styles, drawing inspiration from artists like Errol Garner and Piet Mondrian. The concert spotlighted Diehl's unique compositions, emphasizing a crossover appeal even for classical music fans in attendance.
Led seamlessly and quietly by pianist/composer Diehl, the trio and its precisely laid-down technique were as elegant as its mid-afternoon presentation in Beaverton.
His mission was to choose an artwork to inspire his piece, and his pick was Piet Mondrian's frenetic and colorful 1943 'Broadway Boogie Woogie'.
