If you've never heard Nancy King, you should. World class jazz vocalist. Intimate venue. Wine. Fine cap to the weekend.
Hope a few of you can get out to this - Matt Miner has run an outstanding house concert series and is now producing them at Blackbird Wines in NE Portland.
Matt is bringing together two Grammy-nominated jazz legends: Nancy King and Glen Moore.
Nancy, undoubtedly heir to Ella's title "Queen of Scat," is a wonderful jazz interpreter of the American songbook. She is a national treasure and we are lucky that she calls Portland home. Glen co-founded the group Oregon in 1970 with Ralph Towner, Paul McCandless and Collin Walcott. In 1999, he completed work on the group's 23rd album called "Oregon In Moscow," which features his bass playing and compositions with the Moscow Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra. He has toured Eastern and Western Europe, Northern Africa, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Australia and throughout the United States in major clubs, concert halls and festivals with that band.
