Another early Portland Halloween event and a fundraiser for KBOO as well. Best thing is that it is on the 28th so that you can bust out your Halloween costume on Thursday and then again on Saturday when most of the other events take place.

From our partners at Mt Tabor Theater:

Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, Dead Kenny G's, Trio Subtonic
October 16, Doors Open 9PM, 21+
Mt Tabor Theater
4811 SE Hawthorne Portland, OR 97214
Tickets: $9 in advance through TicketsWest

October 16 will surely be one of the finest of music at Mt. Tabor Theater in recent memory. Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey are as close to pop stars in the jazz world as you can get. The Oklahoma based quartet released “Stay Gold” this summer to overwhelming fanfare and critical acclaim. The Jazz Times says, “JFJO burns with a quiet intensity rather than dramatically explodes.

The musicians play with a coiled looseness, improvising with quicksilver yet deliberate force. You can hear the band's power and inventiveness creatively eroding structure, and the tension produced from that is exhilarating. If JFJO isn't moving jazz forward, it is shifting its center of gravity interestingly askew,” and The Village Voice describes JFJO as “….intensely improvisatory head-fuckery, which embraces Beatles covers, free jazz and just about everything in between.”

Over the past 16 years JFJO has become one of the foremost contemporary jazz bands in the world. Read the rest of this entry »
