On The Radar

Best of the Portland Jazz Fest this week

Terence Blanchard, Friday, Feb. 13 @ the Schnitz

As if hurricane Katrina weren’t sad enough, Blanchard wrote a moving album about it.

Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Friday, Feb. 13 @ Roseland

If you’re not in the mood to get all teary over New Orleans, how about getting all funky to some Big Easy brass? The Dirty Dozen Brass Band has got you covered.

John Scofield, Saturday, Feb. 14 @ Portland Art Museum

Scofield one of the best contemporary jazz guitarists around and one of a handful of jazz cats with the ability to capture the imaginations of America’s college students.

Dianne Reeves, Saturday, Feb. 14 @ the Schnitz

Reeves has an exceptional voice, but has suffered from poor production on many of her albums. Appearing with the Oregon Symphony, then, should be just the ticket.

McCoy Tyner, Sunday, Feb. 15 @ the Schnitz

McCoy Tyner and Ornette Coleman might be the two greatest living jazzmen you’d wanna actually see live. Coleman came last year. Hats off, Portland Jazz Fest!
