Brent Jensen
In 1986-87, Brent Jensen studied in New York City with jazz legend Lee Konitz on a grant from the Idaho Commission on the Arts. He was a featured winner of the "Woodwinds on Fire" international talent search conducted by Jazziz magazine (August 1996). Brent has performed with a wide variety of jazz artists including Gene Harris, Bobby Shew, Bill Anschell, Jeff Johnson, John Bishop, Gary Foster, Dave Peck, Joe LaBarbera, John Clayton, Wycliffe Gordon, Warren Vache, Curtis Stigers, John Stowell, Matt Jorgensen, Thomas Marriott, Jeff Baker, Kristin Korb, Jamie Findlay, Duck Baker, Dianne Schuur and many others. Jensen's recording, "The Sound of a Dry Martini: Remembering Paul Desmond" on Origin Records, charted at the number 1 position on jazz radio stations across the country. "Dry Martini" was also featured on JazzWeek's Top 100 and NPR's JazzWorks' Top 25 lists for the year 2002. "Stay Cool", Brent's second release on Origin made Jim Wilke's (host of "Jazz After Hours") "Favorite Jazz CDs of 2002" list. His fifth release on Origin is "One More Mile" featuring Seattle musicians Bill Anschell (piano), Jeff Johnson (bass) and John Bishop (drums). That disc was named one of Jim Wilke's (host of "Jazz After Hours") "Favorite Jazz CDs of 2007" and made Tom Hull's (writer for "Village Voice" magazine) "Top 50 Jazz CDs of 2007" list. Brent's duo recording ("We Couldn't Agree More") on Origin with Seattle pianist Bill Anschell was selected as a 2009 "Critic's Choice" by "Jazziz" magazine and as one of the "Best Northwest Jazz CDs of 2009" by Jim Wilke (host of "Jazz After Hours"). His most recent release is "Motives" (Origin) with the jazz quartet "Wellstone Conspiracy". Brent's recordings are available on iTunes and at all the major online music outlets (Amazon, Borders, etc.) and at the Origin Records website (www.originarts.com). Brent Jensen is an Assistant Professor of Music at the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls.
Kris
Hartung
Founder and artistic director of the Boise Creative and Improvised Music Festival, Krispen Hartung has been actively involved in the Boise music scene for over 20 years. His contributions include creating new ways for musicians to communicate and collaborate with each other, such as Boise's first musicians web registry (1998), Boise Musicians Internet discussion group, and now in its fifth year, the Boise Creative and Improvised Music Festival. Krispen's efforts have primarily revolved around raising awareness and appreciation of avant-garde and creative music in Boise, Idaho. Krispen Hartung's 30-year musical background is an experimental and continuously evolving road trip marked by many excursions and detours - from flute, classical guitar, progressive rock, and world-beat, to fusion, traditional jazz, and free improvisation. During the last year, Krispen has been recording and performing primarily free improvisational jazz, focusing on the unique tonal characters of the guitar. He has produced 15 CD projects, including his most recent live improvisational project "On the Fringe" with Robert Sterling (percussion).
