Adrian Cunningham is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and world traveler, which makes him a perfect addition to the artist/faculty for the 2017 Jazz Port Townsend Workshop.

Originally from Sydney Australia and now based in New York, he is proving to be one of his country’s top exports. With fluent command of the saxophones, clarinet, and flute, he is one of the finest multi-instrumentalists in Jazz.

In 2014, Adrian became the leader of the saxophone section of the Grammy-winning Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks, a NYC based 1920’s swing orchestra; responsible for the soundtracks for Boardwalk Empire and movies including the Aviator.

Adrian is currently performing with world-class trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, which included a performance at the London Jazz festival and a recording in Abbey Road studios alongside Wess Anderson, Reginald Veal and Herlin Riley.
