Cork Larsen

Banjo/Rhythm

Cork was with the Barrelhouse Jazz Band prior to 1988 in California. He has played with several bands in Oregon, including a stint as a sub with the Uptown Lowdown Jazz Band. He also has enjoyed forming his own band called Cork's Crew, comprised of popular musicians imported from California plus local favorites. Presently, Cork is the president of the Traditional Jazz Society of Oregon. His goal is to be a key member of a strong rhythm "back line" to allow the quality of the "front line" to shine through.
