“One of the outstanding jazz vocalists of her generation and, quite possibly, of all time… rivaling the dexterous sass of Sarah Vaughan, the instinctive smarts of Carmen McRae and the scintillating verve of Diana Krall.”
– Christopher Loudon, Jazz Times
Vocalist Jackie Ryan has soared to national attention in recent years, as her three most recent CDs have dominated the jazz radio charts, each spending copious time as #1 in the nation. And it’s no wonder why. She boast huge control over a 3½ octave range and has honed her craft through years of performance across multiple genres (swing, latin jazz, r&b…) alongside a long roster of musical greats that includes Toots Thielemans, Clark Terry, Buddy DeFranco, Scott Hamilton, John Clayton, Gerald Clayton, Jon Mayer, Barry Harris and Jon Hendricks… to mention but a few.
Jackie joins Anton as well as Bay Area jazz luminaries Larry Dunlap (piano) and John Wiitala (bass) for two special nights at the loft.

It’s our honor to present one jazz’s great living treasures, Julian Priester, and his ensemble.
Priester has been a part of countless history-making bands over the past 60 years, performing and recording extensively with the likes of Duke Ellington, Max Roach, Lionel Hampton, Sun Ra, Dinah Washington, John Coltrane, Philly Joe Jones, Ray Charles, Herbie Hancock, Abbey Lincoln, Freddie Hubbard, Art Blakey, Blue Mitchell and Woody Shaw.
The concert features the members of Julian Priester’s working quartet, Priester’s Cue, expanded to form a quintet with Anton Schwartz on tenor sax. They will perform a program of compositions by Priester and arrangements of jazz standards.

For this concert, Anton Schwartz will be joined by two of Portland’s greatest contributions to the international jazz scene: vocalist Rebecca Kilgore and pianist Randy Porter.
“Rebecca has a gorgeous voice and has a deep connection with every song she touches. In a world of pretenders, she’s absolutely the real thing. I love what she does!”
– Michael Feinstein
“Becky is one of my favorite singers, and one of my greatest recent pleasures was presenting her in concert on Fresh Air.”
– Terry Gross, host of NPR’s Fresh Air
“If Benny Goodman were alive today, he’d hire Becky to sing in his band.”
– Bucky Pizzarelli
