"If this band appeared in New York City, they'd be a sensation!"That was guitar great–and one-time Mel Brown bandmate George Benson's reaction after hearing the Mel Brown B-3 Organ Group back in 2003.

In fact, this true All-star band (all four members are Oregon Music Hall Of Fame inductees) has been a sensation going back to 1997, when they began a 20-year run on Thursday evenings at Portlands legendary Jimmy Maks (The Oregonian dubbed them Jimmy Maks signature group).They've continued their Thursday night tradition at the Jack London Revue for the past 6 years. With a collective resume that reads like a Who's Who of NW jazz, blues, and soul, this group has the talent and confidence to be completely spontaneous –from their blistering solos to their improvised arrangements and segues.No wonder they've thrilled audiences wherever they've played. 

Count among the bands fans jazz great Christian McBride, host of National Public Radio's Jazz Night In America. In an October 2021 broadcast, McBride interviewed Mel and played excerpts from a Mel Brown B-3 Organ Group festival set. At one point in the program, McBride exclaimed, My mind is blown!

Eugenie Jones, an acclaimed American jazz singer-songwriter and producer, captivates audiences with her warmth and magnetic stage presence. Critics praise her as a radiant entertainer, while Paris Move magazine hails her as “one of the most beautiful voices in the United States,” crediting her as part of the “lineage of jazz vocalists who dazzle with sheer talent, elevating everything they touch.”

With an MBA and a prolific career in nonprofit marketing communications, her singing career began after the death of her mother in 2008. “Beyond my grief, I felt a void that I later recognized as missing the sound of my mother singing. Seeking solace and a positive way forward, I wondered if I could carry on that part of her.” That speculation led Jones to the Seattle jazz scene and ultimately to a career in music.

In the years that followed, Jones released six albums that soared up the charts. Her latest release, EUGENIE, held a spot in JazzWeek’s Top 50 for 25 weeks, peaking at #4. A two-time winner of the Earshot Jazz Vocalist of the Year award, she also made history when her album Black Lace Blue Tears became the first vocal release to win Earshot’s Recording of the Year award. Beyond the stage, her dedication to blending live jazz with community service earned her the Jazz Journalists Association’s Jazz Hero Award.

With songwriting skills favorably compared to Abbey Lincoln and Nina Simone, she has released more than 30 original jazz tunes. All About Jazz contributor C. Michael Bailey noted, “her vocals have few peers, and her songwriting is beautifully grown up and real.” Previous performances have included Dazzle Jazz Club (Denver), the Atlanta Jazz Festival, the San Jose Jazz Festival, Jazz Forum (NY), Earshot Jazz Festival (Seattle), Scat Jazz Lounge (Ft. Worth), Pangea Supper Club (NY), The Blue Llama (Ann Arbor), Minton’s Playhouse (NY), and many others.

“This is an extraordinary singer, songwriter, and a source of light we are fortunate to experience,” states former John Coltrane bassist and NEA Jazz Master Reggie Workman.

In 2007, NEA Jazz Master and Grammy Award winning trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis formed the Uptown Jazz Orchestra (UJO) for the purpose of keeping important jazz music traditions alive; such as riff-playing, spontaneous group improvisations, and collective New Orleans instrumental polyphony. At the time, Marsalis realized that the New Orleans music community was lacking the infusion of young homegrown talent outside of the great brass band tradition, and chose to form an orchestra that could present traditional, classic, and modern compositions. with authenticity. Since that time, UJO has grown into one of the premier large ensembles in the world, releasing three CDs to critical acclaim, and touring locally, nationally, and internationally.

In 2008, Marsalis founded the educational program, “Swinging with the Cool School” (a soft introduction to jazz for hip tots and adults), which was used as an experimental form of music therapy at the New Orleans Children Hospital. The Cool School has since expanded to introduce live instrumental jazz to students around the country, with the intent of helping young people develop a relationship with music that has gradually disappeared from mainstream radio and media at large. Through these performances, UJO is able to introduce students (and adults) to the wide emotional range of instrumental music.

Since 2021, UJO has produced the annual Jazz at Congo Square Festival (JACS) to celebrate New Orleans culture by presenting live performances of musicians, poets, dancers, and Black Masking Indians to local and visiting audiences. JACS Festival also features local food, arts & craft vendors. Marsalis and the Uptown Jazz Orchestra plan to continue using the great legacy of American music to engage and hopefully inspire the younger generations for many years.

“Hypnotically repetitive and gloriously syncopated, Changüí Majadero is captivating and liberating.”- Pop Matters

Playing Cuban roots music out of Los Angeles CA, Changüí Majadero is a blazing five-piece band that has honed a deeply informed and highly personal take on changüí, a surging Afro-Cuban musical tradition that took shape in the late 19th century on the eastern side of the island around Guantanamo. It’s one of the foundational styles that gave birth to son, salsa and timba, and in the hands of Changüí Majadero the music feels as fresh and intoxicating as a stiff shot of rum. Founded by guitarist/vocalist Gabriel García, an expert on Cuban tres guitar, the band brings Cuba’s rural countryside music to new ears.

LADY BLACKBIRD
In every Lady Blackbird song is the unmistakable sound of freedom. Harnessing a mighty voice that effortlessly embodies buffeting power, heartrending yearning and soft, whispered balladry, Lady Blackbird has imbued her compositions since 2021’s critically acclaimed debut Black Acid Soul with a journeying independence. Hers is an instantly-recognisable sound capable of evoking joy one moment and heartache the next, a musical embrace of genres as varied as jazz, classic soul, gospel, psychedelic rock and pop. It is the hallmark of a visionary voice, on an Album that has landed on several ‘2024 Best Albums of the Year’ charts. Yet, it is only now that she is embracing the full breadth of that musical freedom in her most personal and ambitious work to date: Slang Spirituals. “This is my journey of becoming,” she explains. “It’s me rewriting the book to show the world who I truly am. From being labelled a sinner to finding my acceptance.” Across 11 tracks Lady Blackbird puts her sweeping, cinematic vocal power to use on everything from the soulful orchestral fanfares of “Let Not (Your Heart Be Troubled)” to the finger-picking folk storytelling of “Man On A Boat”, euphoric gospel empowerment of “Like A Woman” and the seven-minute psychedelic soul instrumental of “When The Game Is Played On You.”

CHUCK ISRAELS JAZZ ORCHESTRA

Vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Anna Moss hails from the verdant forests and lush limestone of the Ozarks; yet her musical personality oozes New Orleans, the artist’s adopted hometown for many years. Anna’s newfound brand of sultry, stripped-down soul is steeped in Southern R&B, Americana, and porch jazz—apocalyptic love songs and gritty hymns of humanity, abolition, and compassion, busked to fruition in the historic French Quarter streets.

Portland-based Tony Coleman, one of the most revered blues drummers in
the world today, during his illustrious career has toured the world with Otis
Clay, Bobby Blue Bland, Johnnie Taylor, Albert King, Albert Collins, Etta
James, Freddie King, James Cotton, Katie Webster, Z.Z. Hill, O.V. Wright,
Buddy Guy, and BB King, with whom he performed and recorded for 29 years
until BB’s death in 2015.

Coleman has assembled an all-star grouping of Portland musicians to pay
tribute to three of his mentors and former bosses, the pioneering blues
guitarists BB King, Albert King and Freddie King, whose iconic guitar work
has profoundly influenced virtually every rock and blues guitarist of the past
six decades. Coleman is one of the very few musicians alive to have toured
and/or recorded with all three of these legendary bluesmen.

Joining Coleman on this tribute is an impressive lineup of the region’s blues
all-stars. Contributing Three-Kings-inspired guitar work will be Mike
Osborn (longtime guitarist with John Lee Hooker) and Peter Dammann (Paul
deLay, Linda Hornbuckle, Solomon Burke).  Louis Pain is featured on organ
(Paul deLay, Mel Brown, Linda Hornbuckle), and John Mazzocco on bass
(John Lee Hooker, Paul deLay, Curtis Salgado). Leading the tight horn section
is British expatriate saxophonist, Chris Mercer, who in addition to his work
with John Mayall, Billy Ocean, Bryan Ferry and Dr. John, toured with Freddie
King and recorded on some of the Texas guitarist’s seminal hits of the 1970s.
And on trumpet, TBD

Kyle Smith from Ventura, CA has been known to push the limits of the "Cali Reggae" sound with influences of Hip-Hop, Punk Rock, and Pop that make it impossible for his style to be defined. He's known for his tracks about mistakes, imperfections, addictions, and struggles combined with hooks everybody can sing. Kyle's high energy performances with the band and relentless work ethic are both contributing factors to a rapidly growing fanbase of outcasts all over North America

"If this band appeared in New York City, they'd be a sensation!"That was guitar great–and one-time Mel Brown bandmate George Benson's reaction after hearing the Mel Brown B-3 Organ Group back in 2003.

In fact, this true All-star band (all four members are Oregon Music Hall Of Fame inductees) has been a sensation going back to 1997, when they began a 20-year run on Thursday evenings at Portlands legendary Jimmy Maks (The Oregonian dubbed them Jimmy Maks signature group).They've continued their Thursday night tradition at the Jack London Revue for the past 6 years. With a collective resume that reads like a Who's Who of NW jazz, blues, and soul, this group has the talent and confidence to be completely spontaneous –from their blistering solos to their improvised arrangements and segues. No wonder they've thrilled audiences wherever they've played. 

Count among the bands fans jazz great Christian McBride, host of National Public Radio's Jazz Night In America. In an October 2021 broadcast, McBride interviewed Mel and played excerpts from a Mel Brown B-3 Organ Group festival set. At one point in the program, McBride exclaimed, My mind is blown!

"A very bright star is emerging in the guitar world and that star is Mark Lettieri… Mark’s contributions to music are with groundbreaking, genre-bending innovative groups that are finding large audiences…"
– Cover of Jazz Guitar Today

"Now up for his first GRAMMY nomination as a solo artist, this rhythm guitarist has honed his craft to the point where experimentation and creativity have lent to one of the most extraordinary records to date."
– Daily Rind

Mark Lettieri is a six time nominated, five time GRAMMY winning guitarist, composer, producer, and instructor based in Fort Worth, TX. He creates acclaimed guitar-based instrumental music, and is a member of leading instrumental bands Snarky Puppy and The Fearless Flyers. As a session musician proficient in a multitude of styles, he has recorded and performed in virtually every genre of popular music with both independent and major-label artists.

Born in the San Francisco Bay Area, Lettieri came to Texas via Texas Christian University (TCU), studying advertising and public relations, and competing in track and field. A passionate guitarist since middle school, he began his music career in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex area upon graduating from TCU.

In July of 2024 Lettieri released his highly anticipated new album, “Can I Tell You Something?, his latest exploration into the world of instrumental music, blending elements of jazz, funk, rock, and soul to create a sound that is distinctly his own. The 10 tracks feature his trademark intricate guitar work, infectious funk, and a range of dynamic compositions that highlight his versatility and creativity.

Perhaps one of the most exciting and anticipated projects in the world of heavy instrumental music is Parlor Greens, a fresh organ trio on Colemine Records!

You could say that Parlor Greens are greater than the sum of their parts…however, the individual parts are simply stellar on their own. Tim Carman (formerly GA-20, Canyon Lights) on drums, Jimmy James (True Loves, formerly Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio) on guitar, and Adam Scone (Scone Cash Players, The Sugarman 3) on organ.

Scone is perhaps the most tasteful living organist on planet Earth (and beyond) and to watch him play is to truly watch a master at work. He bends the organ to his will like a true mastercraftsman. He’s a veteran of the soul revival scene, having played on many Daptone recording sessions since their inception, but also has learned from some of the legends of soul jazz: Melvin Sparks and The Turbanator himself Dr. Lonnie Smith. Jimmy James needs no introduction to many as he’s been seen all over the world performing with instrumental groups The True Loves and the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio. Perhaps the most dangerous right hand in all of soul music, his signature funky approach can be identified by even the most novice of music fans, a feat most musicians could only dream of. Tim Carman. The backbone. The pocket. Having cut his teeth touring the world with blues group GA-20, Carman’s expertise in the world of blues shuffles might make him an unlikely candidate to lay the foundation for the funky Parlor Greens, but this debut LP shows otherwise. Steady, heavy pockets and as funky as they come.

For one night only, Andy Stokes brings a special Stax Records–inspired soul revue to Jack London Revue, celebrating the timeless sound that defined an era of American music.

Andy Stokes first topped the R&B charts in 2018 with the breakout hit Best Day Ever, launching a new era for independent soul music. He followed it in 2019 with We On Da Flo featuring Snoop Dogg and produced by DJ Battlecat, blending classic R&B with West Coast G-funk. In 2023, Andy released I Don’t Give A Damn, a powerful and deeply emotional ballad that became his third Top 30 hit in four years—an extraordinary achievement for an independent artist.

This one-night-only Stax Records set highlights the deep soul roots that have shaped Andy’s sound, channeling the raw emotion, groove, and spirit of the legendary Memphis label while seamlessly blending in his own chart-topping originals.

Andy’s journey is as compelling as his music. Once homeless, he has built a catalog rooted in honesty, resilience, and timeless soul, earning a devoted global following along the way. His most recent release, No Better, is an upbeat celebration of true connection and love. The track reunites Andy with singer-songwriter-producer Ervan Rushing (former lead singer of Portland’s The U-Crew) and delivers undeniable dance-floor energy.

With a career spanning more than three decades, Andy Stokes has become a cornerstone of Pacific Northwest soul and R&B. Known as the “Northwest King of Soul Music,” the two-time Music Hall of Fame inductee continues to deliver silky-smooth vocals, gritty emotion, and unforgettable live performances that leave audiences breathless.

Rochelle Jordan is a London-born, Toronto-raised artist who has long been a visionary voice in music, with a global fanbase and critical acclaim for her fearless, expansive sound lined with daring alt-R&B, soul, and heart-pumping electronic music — and who is redefining what it means to be a pop artist today.

With over 100 million global streams, Rochelle Jordan has earned a reputation as one of the most forward-thinking voices in music, drawing praise from NPR, The New York Times, Pitchfork, The FADER, BET, and BBC Radio for her boundary-pushing fusion of R&B, UK garage, house, electronic soul, and pop music.

After early cult-favorite releases (ROJO, Pressure, 1021), she reemerged with Play With the Changes, a breakthrough that cemented her reputation as one of alternative R&B’s boldest innovators, becoming a critical favorite, landing on multiple year-end “Best Of” lists, and securing major radio support across the U.S. and UK.

Her most recent album, Through the Wall, released on September 26th, 2025, has quickly become Rochelle’s most successful project to date — critically and commercially — catapulting her to global superstardom. The project continues this evolution: moody, dance-floor-ready, and emotionally resonant, fusing polished house, alternative R&B, and newly crowned pop with a sense of personal resilience and musical growth.

The album features some of dance music’s greats, such as Terry Hunter, Kaytranada, KLSH, and West Coast funk producer DāM-FunK. At the end of 2025, Rochelle made her national U.S. TV debut on Good Morning America, performing her hit tracks “LADIDA” and “Doing It Too” for one of the show’s biggest airings of the year.

Throughout her exhilarating career, she has delivered explosive collaborations with KAYTRANADA, Kelela, Logic1000, Sango, and many more.

In short: Rochelle Jordan is a genre-defying voice bridging R&B’s soul and pop with an underground electronic pulse — unmistakable, evolving, and far from boxed in.

Will Evans creates music as an open invitation—to drop your guard, tune in, and move through the world a little more freely. Rooted in folk tradition yet unconfined by genre, his songs blend thoughtful, quotable lyrics with sunlit grooves and global textures, encouraging listeners to reconnect with their most honest selves. Based in Rhode Island, the singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist has built a devoted following by pairing sound with intention, most notably through his Kind Folk community, which turns shows into shared experiences of kindness, charity, and collective uplift.

Known for his dynamic live performances, Evans weaves together acoustic guitar, handpan, didgeridoo, beatboxing, and percussion to create a fluid, organic sound that feels both grounded and expansive. His 2025 release The Wild Unknown pushes that vision further, exploring the crossroads of contemporary folk, electronica, and rock, with collaborations from artists like Tristan Prettyman, Dirtwire, and Moontricks.

From sold-out rooms across the U.S. and Europe to stages shared with Crosby & Nash, Grace Potter, Bruce Hornsby,Dirtwire, Trevor Hall, and Railroad Earth, Will Evans continues to build a musical space where connection comes first—and everyone belongs.

Dumbo Gets Mad is a psychedelic pop project founded in 2011 by Luca Bergomi, songwriter, producer, and sound designer from Emilia. The name is inspired by the surreal “Pink Elephants on Parade” sequence from Disney’s Dumbo (1941), a metaphor for a childlike spirit confronting the absurd. Initially conceived as a duo with Carlotta Menozzi, the project reflects Bergomi’s free-flowing vision, blending styles, languages, and genres with playful unpredictability.

The project debuted in Los Angeles with Elephants at the Door, quickly gaining international attention. The single “Plumy Tale” was named by Pitchfork critic Joe Tangari among the 50 best tracks of 2011, while “Marmalade Kids” was selected as NPR’s Song of the Day. The second album, Quantum Leap (2013), leaned further into psychedelic experimentation, with “Indian Food” strengthening the project’s presence in the U.S. scene.

In 2015, Dumbo Gets Mad released Thank You Neil, a live-recorded, soul-tinged album inspired by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, praised for its minimalist elegance. The 2019 single “Makes You Fly” preceded Things Are Random And Time Is Speeding Up (2021), followed by a tour across North America and Mexico.

In 2021, Bergomi collaborated with Italian rap icon Marracash on the album Noi, Loro, Gli Altri. Dumbo Gets Mad has since performed over 100 shows across Europe and the Americas, appearing at festivals such as SXSW, Levitation, Hypnosis Festival, Treefort, and Manchester Psych Fest, and at renowned venues including Baby’s All Right (NYC), Lodge Room (LA), Empty Bottle (Chicago), Foro Indie Rocks (Mexico City), and Supersonic (Paris). In 2022, he appeared on the main stage of MI AMI Festival, and in 2025 made his Asian debut with shows in Tokyo and Taipei.

Known for immersive, visually striking live performances, Dumbo Gets Mad signed with Carosello Records in 2025 to develop his fifth studio album, preceded by the single “Pariah.” The self-titled album frames Bergomi as an observer, documenting sensations and moments accumulated over years of writing. Shaped conceptually like an egg, it symbolizes both the birth and fragility of life.

On Saturday, May 2nd Tezeta Band will bring a night of energetic Ethio-Influenced jazz back to the Jack London Revue with Special Guest DJs Derek Smith & Bri Drennon.

Tezeta Band is an eight-piece ensemble that plays nostalgic Ethiopian influenced soul music.  While rooting their sound in Ethio-Jazz, Tezeta Band (Pronounced Tih-Zeh-Tah Band) has been playing old-school African grooves across dance floors and festivals to popular acclaim since 2008

Tezeta Band was formed in Portland, OR by former members of legendary 90s Hip-Hop band, Five Fingers of Funk.  After the Fingers dissolved in the early 2000s, members Ted Hille and Tim Cook discovered a cassette of music from the French compilation, Ethiopiques and decided to start a new group with their former bandmates. The band, which started as a tribute to Golden age Ethiopian soul music, has evolved to now play an inspired mix of both classic and original Ethio-Jazz compositions.

Tezeta Band have had the distinct honor to open for such legends as, Mahmoud Ahmed, Aster Aweke, Hugh Masekela, Toots & the Maytals, Cubanismo and Vieux Farke Toure. In 2016 Tezeta Band self-released a full length LP "The Origin of Night life".  Their music has also been featured on internationally known compilations, Noise and Chill Out: Ethiopian Groove Worldwide and Beyond Addis 1 & 2.   Tezeta Band has also had their music featured in Songlines Magazine and on award winning documentary “Zemene”. The Band is currently at work on their next LP which will feature all original music.

FORAGER is a Brooklyn-based trio whose music augments contemporary indie rock with intricate guitar work, melismatic vocals, and curious, shapeshifting grooves. NPR's Bobby Carter called their music "buttery" and "complex," remarking, "where have you been all my life?!?" FORAGER has built their following on the strength of their live show, selling out venues in New York and throughout the U.S. Their upcoming sophomore album, Even a Child Can Cover the Sun with a Finger, ventures into rawer territory—whispered vocals over blaring sirens and distorted drums, singable psych-pop choruses that disintegrate into mayhem. The album captures the peeled-back intimacy of folk-singer-songwriters with the pulsating synchronicity that only comes from a band.

“David Weiss’ creative contributions to contemporary jazz continue.” 

– Tony Hall, JazzWise Magazine

• David Weiss- Trumpet
• Myron Walden- Alto Sax
• Eric Wheeler- Bass
• E.J. Strickland- Drums

Praised by The New York Times and the Village Voice for its bold inventions over the years, Weiss’ music evokes emotional complexity — abundance and loss, the collateral beauty of pain — and transmits a deeply personal sound informed by his strong connection to hard bop and swing, avant-garde and free improvisation, salsa, soca, fusion, and hard rock traditions. Across Auteur, the Queens native creates exquisite chambers of sound for his fellow artists to explore. Their ability to stretch each tune collectively and as supreme individualists serves Weiss’ intention for the music.

“As I was writing, the tunes came out as these extended forms,” he says. With each, he strives to “break from tradition” but maintain certain traditional formats for soloing. Recorded at Big Orange Sheep Studios in Brooklyn and mixed and mastered by Katherine Miller and Fred Kevorkian, respectively, the compositions prompt an exploration of theme and variation throughout the record. Each artist’s treatment and development of melody further elevates the music, signaling a level of familiarity with each selection that invites unbound risk-taking. “We try to workshop the material live as much as possible before going into the studio,” says Weiss. “It’s not like one rehearsal and then, ‘Let’s do it.’ We’ve worked it out.”

“The sextet skirts the outer reaches of straight-ahead jazz, innovating while drawing from tradition.” 

– Sharonne Cohen, JazzTimes
