Don’t miss this chance to experience the vibrant sounds of jazz in a lively community setting! The Ian Harland Quartet features Ian Harland on vibraphone, John Opferkuch on piano, Doug Walker on bass, and Tyler Kreutel on drums. Native San Diegan Ian Harland has been playing music since he was seven. A long-time drummer, while studying at SDSU he became increasingly interested in harmony and composition, which led his studies towards mallets rather than a drum set. When his teacher, Anthony Smith, moved to New York, Harland bought Smith’s vibraphone and set out to become fluent as an improviser and composer on the instrument. He now records and performs professionally as a vibraphonist. He graduated from SDSU with a bachelor’s and master’s in Jazz studies. John Opferkuch pursued his education, graduating from Yale in music while honing his jazz from stellar musicians like Joshua White and Peter Sprague (both of whom have performed at Osher) and performing on the piano with numerous professional ensembles. Versatile bassist Doug Walker pours his love of music into every performance. He has been on the San Diego scene since 2001, backing up many of the city’s renowned artists across the spectrum of musical genres. His particular passion for modern jazz has afforded him performances with many local legends and has inspired an abundance of original compositions and arrangements. Tyler Kreutel, born and raised in San Diego, took up the drums at the age of 12 in his middle school jazz band and hasn’t looked back since. Tyler graduated from The San Diego School for Creative and Performing Arts in 2012 and went on to receive his bachelors in music performance at California State University Long Beach. This is a jazz quartet of incomparable talent and the performance on October 3 is free and open to potential new members and their guests.
