The Jazz Voyager

As I say farewell to Indianapolis, I’m looking out the window of the plane heading to the great northwest of Portland, Oregon to pay a visit to the Jack London Revue. The venue is rooted in the original American tradition of jazz and the underlying principles of freedom through improvisation, however, they feature a wide range of music that has been inspired by jazz’s world wide diaspora.L

Saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin will be getting all the attention of this Jazz Voyager as she fuses traditional conceptions of jazz, hip~hop, and soul in her performance. She has received 3 Grammy nominations for her latest album Phoenix. The far-reaching new album finds her poised alongside a curated all-star cast of Wayne Shorter to Dianne Reeves, Georgia Anne Muldrow to Patrice Rushen, and Sonia Sanchez to Angela Davis. The album is produced by the multi-Grammy winner drummer and activist Terri Lyne Carrington.

The club is located at 529 SW 4th Avenue 97204 For those requiring more information go to  https://notoriousjazz.com/event/lakecia-benjamin.
