elcome to the 14th Annual Biamp PDX Jazz Festival. Some folks have wondered why we dropped “Portland” from our W title last year, but many have also recognized our year-round commitment and expansion for presenting jazz all across the Rose City under our organization name PDX Jazz (and no one will dispute that PDX is the best airport in America—even with the new carpeting). Our tireless pursuit in offering our Citizens of Jazzlandia the finest examples of emerging, established and legacy artists continued unabated this past Fall with eleven shows: Raul Midón, Kamasi Washington, Camila Meza, Bill Frisell, McCoy Tyner, Steve Lehman, and Dave Douglas, among others. We have many great shows planned for the coming season T. S. MONK including , Donny McCaslin, Gerald Clayton, Billy Childs, Anat Cohen, Eliane Elias, Manuel Valera, Marquis Hill and Blacktet, Ambrose Akinmusire, and major surprises to be announced soon. The venues with whom we partner are integral in making sure we can keep bringing this high level of artistry for Portlanders to admire and discover. In our seventh year producing shows on a twelve-month calendar, PDX Jazz has built alliances and partnerships in various neighborhoods with P5, The Mission Theater, Classic , Mississippi Studios, Revolution Hall, The Aladdin Theater, Soul’D Out Music Productions, PSU, The Old Church, Lewis & Clark, The Alberta Abbey, and our many hotel and restaurant partners who have welcomed PDX Jazz into their collective spaces. None however has been more enduring and gratifying than Jimmy EZRA WEISS Mak’s. I am fighting back tears as I reflect on Jimmy’s recent passing, and the beautiful times we shared on over 75 occasions with JD and Lisa since we first presented Charles McPherson on the 2012 Festival. When I transitioned to Artistic Director in June 2011, Jimmy was the first person I called, and he advised us to organically blend local musicians who work here year-round into the Festival. This served as a grounding experience that I still uphold and adhere to throughout the year. Our jazz community is caring, supportive and passionate towards our artists and we pulled on the rope to reconfigure and reimagine our schedule in light of the club’s closing. We hope that you will come out and support an important step in the post-Jimmy Mak’s era with the recent opening of the Fremont Theater. We’re excited to begin partnering with them and will kick off this new relationship with three Festival performances: Aaron Parks Trio, Alan Jones and the Buddy Rich Drum Battle, and the Descarga for Monk & Diz program featuring Alex Conde MARIA SCHNEIDER and John Santos. We are thrilled that the Mission Theater is back in action now, renewed and once again on a year-round schedule with the Bridgetown Sextet show being our first there since April 2014. Our partnership with McMenamins goes back long before my tenure with headline shows at the Crystal Ballroom. Last year we began a one-week residency celebrating Coltrane at Al’s Den, and this will now become an annual Festival tradition, with Dizzy Gillespie receiving the honor this year. Lola’s Room will host our Monday night big band salute with Ezra Weiss, who will recall the famed NYC residencies by the Mingus Big Band, Thad Jones/, Gil Evans, and Maria Schneider. The White Eagle Saloon has also joined the Festival family as host for a new series, Not Exactly Jazz; and we’ll keep the Jazz Jam Session nomadic, checking in this year at the new Northside buzz spot, the 1905. Our programming expansion on the east side gained momentum last ALEX CONDE Festival with two shows at Revolution Hall, and this year we’ll host five

not to be missed programs. Among them is the long anticipated debut of the Mel Brown Big Band. Our Portland Jazz Master, who attended Washington High School, has always featured Dizzy’s music among his various bands. He’ll have the opportunity to welcome Gillespie’s living embodiment, Jon Faddis, as special guest soloist. Brown will also reassemble his original septet in tribute to his dear friend Jimmy Makarounis, appropriately billed The Jimmy Mak All Stars. SALEM’S There will be so much to see and savor during these 11 days—get out and smell the roses, taste a bracing mico-brew, caffeinate leisurely, visit a food cart; we have record stores, pool halls PREMIER and bowling alleys, and of course Powell’s. It’s Jazzlandia for all to enjoy as we celebrate Black History Month and America’s indigenous art form JAZZ CLUB in the Pacific Northwest. “Make the Scene”

e are living in a remarkable era for jazz in Portland, and PDX Jazz is proud of our contributions toward making this important W and dynamic music a major part of Portland’s performing arts landscape. This past year, local and internationally renowned jazz artists have graced stages all over town, from Revolution Hall, the Alberta Abbey and the Aladdin Theater on the east side, to the west side venues of the P5, the Old Church, and, of course, the much celebrated Jimmy Maks. The ongoing presentation of live performance is exciting and essential to our mission, as is the expansion of our education programs. The PDX Jazz Board of Directors is made up of a diverse community of business leaders, educators, marketers and communicators – all of JAZZ IN THE SCHOOLS whom have become important activists and visionaries for jazz music – Art by Emiel of DaVinci Middle School and have played a major role over the years in building PDX Jazz into a successful presenting arts organization. In collaboration with our spon- sors, staff, donors, members and volunteers, the board made broadening our education outreach programs and developing partnerships for them a focus of our efforts this past year. • The “Incredible Journey of Jazz” – our longest running education program, and steered by our Education Chair Marcia Hocker – continues to be performed in Portland Public School auditoriums, but this year, in partnership with P5, was presented at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on January 17 to thousands of students from Title 1 schools. • With the generous support of our sponsors US Bank and OPB, our “Jazz in the Schools” program, in only its second full year, was AMINA CLAUDINE MYERS taught in ten schools and to over 1,000 students of all ages, and will culminate this April with an exhibition of exceptional student art at the Portland Art Museum. • Our new adult education program “Discover Jazz” – led by board member (and Reed College Professor of Humanities) Pancho Savery – has found an impressive, enthusiastic audience, as well as a partner in Literary Arts, who hosts our events in their downtown offices. • Generous donations from Roberto Lovato and Laura Golino de Lo- vato have allowed for the creation of the “Bright Moments Fund,” which provides under-privileged youth the experience of witnessing ALAN JONES select PDX Jazz events. The entire organization is very proud of this work because it serves to introduce the historic cultural impact of the music while creating the potential for a new audience for it. More information about our educational outreach can be found in the Question and Answer section within this program. Having led the board during this era of PDX Jazz has been incredibly rewarding. Thanks to the vision of the board and staff, and with the continuing support of our sponsors (particularly Biamp Systems), mem- bers, and volunteers, we are now in a great position to continue present- ing live jazz music and expanding our educational outreach well into the future. In Portland, we can proudly say that jazz indeed “lives!”
