Rich Halley is a saxophonist and composer based in Portland, Oregon. He is known for his asymmetric and rhythmic compositions and his fiery playing. Rich has released 21 critically acclaimed recordings as a leader and has recorded over one hundred original compositions.  His new album “The Literature” is by the Rich Halley 3 and features Canadian bassist Clyde Reed and his son, drummer Carson Halley.  As All About Jazz describes it: “The music’s appeal is its unusual and engaging mixture of structure and freedom – sometimes very wild freedom.”  DownBeat said “Oregon-based saxophonist Rich Halley has been turning out smart, brawny music for a couple of decades.”
