[A goal of mine is to] “uplift people as much as I can. To inspire them to realize more and more of their capacities for living meaningful lives.” —

elcome to the 13th Annual Biamp PDX Jazz Festival! We are Charles Lloyd excited to present this year’s programming, which features W the timeless work of the towering mid-20th century saxophonist John Coltrane, whose spirit for living a meaningful life mirrors that of our own community.

Portland is made up of people who combine a tireless passion for quality and possibility with a deep desire to lead a robust, uplifting life. The passion is found everywhere—in our restaurants and food carts, on our bike paths and hiking trails, and in our relationships, businesses, schools, and neighborhoods. The drive to explore, participate, communicate, learn and experience life is primary to our community character, and it inspires us to grow ourselves, as Coltrane would say, “into the best good that [we] can be.”

Our city’s ongoing quest to live a meaningful life continually challenges PDX Jazz to present audiences with compelling programming and community outreach. It is a challenge we pursue with enthusiasm because we believe providing the city with access to this indigenous American music enriches the lives of those living here—great performances remind us of the music’s historic influence while nourishing our contemporary creative spirit.

Our mission is to foster the growth of musical offerings in the Dianne Reeves Pacific Northwest, and to inspire, educate, and develop future jazz audiences for generations to come. We aspire to provide ample opportunities for the community to experience jazz music, and to discover how it uniquely inspires each of us. Thanks to the musicians, our sponsors and individual members, and to our patrons, staff, partner organizations, volunteers, and Board for helping us fulfill our mission.

Student art from Lincoln High School 2015 Jazz in the Schools Winning Entry Jazz in the Schools Jazz in the Schools is an education and outreach program conducted in select Portland Public Schools. Student art from Student art from Student art from Sponsored by US Bank, the Da Vinci Middle School Sellwood Middle School Astor School program teaches students about the origins of jazz from its roots in Africa and New Orleans, some of its most significant figures, its major contributions to American history, and ultimately its connection to visual art – particularly the designs found on jazz record album covers during the mid-20th century. Throughout the duration of the program, the students listened to jazz music in their classroom while creating their own artistic interpretation of what jazz “looks like”. The art judged to be most outstanding by a panel of prominent Portland artists is on display in downtown Portland during the entirety of the PDX Jazz Festival.

Incredible Journey of Jazz The Incredible Journey of Jazz is a free, 60-minute music program designed for students in Portland’s public schools that tells the story of jazz music, one of America’s treasured contributions to world culture. Through a live performance, students learn about the roots of jazz from African music and its culture, its development in the United States, and current place in our own culture. HERBERT A. TEMPLETON FOUNDATION Jazz Forward Competition The Jazz Forward Competition was created to bring a world class student festival to Portland and the Pacific Northwest. The partnership with PDX Jazz and Portland State University brings hundreds of students, directors and family members to our beautiful city in the midst of the PDX Jazz Festival. Competition participants have the opportunity to attend master classes, jazz conversations and concerts, and the winners of each category are rewarded with the opportunity to open for our national and international headline performers on the main stages of the Festival.
