Cyrus Nabipoor plays at Christo's Pizza - Salem

Since returning home to Portland in 2020, trumpeter & composer Cyrus Nabipoor has become a mainstay of the scene. Nabipoor’s honest & distinctive voice on the horn soars over a unique blend of jazz and rock. He has been a featured artist at the PDX Jazz Fest, Cathedral Park Fest, Montavilla Jazz Fest, and New Orleans French Quarter Fest. In addition to writing for his own group, Nabipoor has had several works commissioned by Portland Jazz Composer’s Ensemble. He recently released his highly-anticipated debut studio album, 'In Lieu of Tears'. The album is a landmark in the development of Nabipoor's writing style as well as his trumpet playing. Nabipoor's Quartet features local heavyweights & up-and-comers Jack Radsliff (gtr), Eden Holland (bass), and Noah Mortola (drums). “It is never possible to anticipate his next move…The jazz equivalent of a first-year pitcher who throws 99 m.p.h….His trumpet chops are deadly.” -JazzTimes “A bandleader and composer/arranger for whom no style or emotion is off limits.”
