The 2024 jazz finale was so popular we decided to expand the program to three bands. The mini festival kicks off with longtime local mainstay Michael Powers, whose funky, contemporary guitar has been compared to that of Earl Klugh. Inventive pianist Tim Kennedy follows, with a dynamite, all-star quintet playing straight-ahead jazz standards and originals. To end the season, we have the Pony Boy All-Star Big Band, featuring the sizzling arrangements of leader (and kickin’ drummer) Greg Williamson.
These bands feature some of Northwest’s finest musicians. Come on out and enjoy the fun!
This project is supported, in part by a grant from 4Culture.
