PDX Jazz puts its whole 2027 festival on paper, ten days in March with Emmylou Harris and Lila Downs on top and Stanley Clarke reuniting with Hiromi for Chick Corea. Then a 1989 Gillespie concert with Arturo Sandoval in the trumpet section, five rooms from Chicago to New York, and the July night in 1990 when Sandoval asked for asylum in Rome. | The Lead: PDX Jazz publishes the whole 2027 Biamp Portland Jazz Festival, a ten day citywide celebration from March fourth to the thirteenth with over twenty five ticketed performances, headed by Emmylou Harris and Lila Downs and closed by Larry Carlton, and it prints no ticket price anywhere. Listen to This: The New York Public Library's catalog holds the Kultur disc of Dizzy Gillespie's United Nation Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall on June 10, 1989, with Arturo Sandoval on trumpet and flugelhorn, and a second record of the same night that does not agree with it. The Bridge: In July 1990 a Cuban trumpeter on tour with Dizzy Gillespie asked for political asylum at the American embassy in Rome, and Silas tells how his wife and son got out too, on a permission he calls a mistake. On the Road: Five rooms tonight, from the Chicago Cellar Boys' weekly Tuesday at the Green Mill for ten dollars to four piano trio sets at Mezzrow in New York, by way of Hammond B-3 Week at Blues Alley. One More Note: Shirley Horn died on this date in 2005, the same year the National Endowment for the Arts named her a Jazz Master, and the French national library prints the same day. | The Daily Quintet is an AI-crafted production, researched and checked by humans. Every listing you hear came from the venue or the festival's own organizer.
