US Bank.indd 2 1/18/13 2:07 PM WELCOME
elcome to the 2013 U.S. Bank Portland Jazz Festival, Presented by Alaska Airlines. PDX Jazz, the presenting organization of the Festival, turns 10 this year. To celebrate, we’ve invited back a select W number of our favorite artists who have joined us o and on since our inception in 2004, as well as artists who will perform in Portland for the rst time. We kick o our 10 day festival with Juan de Marcos and the Afro-Cuban All Stars at the Aladdin eater. De Marcos has collaborated with Ibrahim Ferrier, Ruben Gonzalez, Ry Cooder and countless others for the past 20 years. His European tour in 1997 spawned the Buena Vista Social Club. We welcome back the ACAS and fondly remember their last appearance, in 2009, at the Crystal Ballroom. Portland’s own Nancy King returns to the Portland Center for the Performing Arts (she last performed there with Kurt Elling in the Newmark eatre during the 2008 festival) as this year’s Portland Jazz Master. In a program titled “Just Friends,” the Grammy Award winning performer will be accompanied by her two closest musical collaborators, bassist Glenn Moore and pianist Steve Christo erson. When you stop in at one of our hotel partner venues or visit the Art Bar to support local artists, kick back and enjoy a Rogue “Jazz Master” Ale, brewed in Nancy’s honor; you’ll recognize her image on the label! Esperanza Spalding has become a global musical celebrity; we have watched her grow along the way since her rst Portland Jazz Festival appearance in 2008 at the Winningstad eatre. Her love for her home town was unmistakable when she appeared last year to honor her mentor, ara Memory. As our Community Ambassador in 2011, Spalding introduced Chamber Music Society at the Newmark eatre, just days a er winning a Grammy Award™ for Best New Artist. We welcome her back as part of ACS, a trio collective with like-minded colleagues, Terri Lyne Carrington and Geri Allen. ACS will make their West Coast premiere at the Festival, having performed past shows in Boston and New York. In 2004, we presented Scott Hamilton, an expat saxophonist who tirelessly keeps the Swing From the Artist’s tradition alive. He returns to Jimmy Mak’s with a stellar rhythm section of local heroes: Dave Hand to Yours Frishberg, Dave Captein and Gary Hobbs. With the support of our good friend Wayne ompson, who urged us (and Scott) to do it again, this performance should not be missed. Come celebrate the City of Portland—and 10 years of jazz—with 10 days of world class jazz in concert halls, universities, theaters, ballrooms, hotels, restaurants and clubs. We urge you to attend our free and partnered shows throughout downtown Portland, anchored by our education outreach programs, which celebrate Black History Month including Jazz Conversations, PSU Student Stage and the Incredible Journey of Jazz. Downtown Portland We’ll see you at the Festival! 503.223.9510 Portland Airport 503.284.9929
