Isaac Norris Project: Sax with friends

There are two groups of folks this weekend: those who will race out of the city to places like the mighty Lake Michigan, or those who will choose instead to explore the quiet of an emptied city. 

I, for one, will be part of that latter group and as I surveyed the weekend for places to land, I was happy to see a best bet for a chill brew enjoyed with an equally cool event at The Creston Brewery, who will welcome The Isaac Norris Project to this northeast neighborhood brew pub. 

Known for his jazz compositions released under the name of Isaac Norris, this Sunday’s popup performance in the Creston neighborhood is a chance for Norris, under The Isaac Norris Project, to welcome those musicians who worked with him on the recording of “Something to Say” to the stage for this special concert. 

Joining Norris are Grand Rapids-area musicians, who will be recreating the featured artist’s smooth soul and up-tempo compositions, as they bring to the stage their many influences and styles from the artists’ backgrounds in jazz, gospel, blues, and R&B. Norris’ playful and inventive turn on the saxophone, along with the help of area musicians, is why The Isaac Norris Project is a best bet this Sunday in the city.
