Charlie Porter – Sci-Fi Standards, Vol. 1: The Future We Knew (Album Release Tour)

GRAMMY Award–winning trumpeter Charlie Porter presents Sci-Fi Standards, Vol. 1: The Future We Knew — a bold reimagining of iconic science-fiction film themes through the lens of modern acoustic jazz.

Drawing inspiration from cinematic worlds such as Blade Runner, Star Wars, Star Trek, Dune, and more, the project transforms familiar melodies into expansive, improvisational vehicles rooted in swing, interplay, and sonic exploration. What emerges is not nostalgia, but a fresh musical conversation — cinematic in atmosphere, deeply melodic, and grounded in the spirit of jazz tradition.

At a time when the future feels uncertain, The Future We Knew invites listeners to reconnect with the collective imagination we once shared — and to rediscover it together, in real time.

Free concert presented on the Village Green, by the Orcas Center (Orcas Island, WA).
