Let’s Celebrate Portland Jazz – Ron Steen Trio
Let’s Celebrate Portland Jazz! A Benefit for Montavilla Jazz. Featuring Ron Steen Trio, streamed live by Left Door Streaming from The 1905.
Ron Steen, who was recently honored as a Jazz Journalist Association 2020 Jazz Hero, is a local jazz legend.
This concert will feature Ron Steen with pianist George Mitchell and bassist Perry Thoorsell.
“For the past 50 years, Steen has been a paragon of integrity and consistency in the Portland jazz community. As a jam session host, he is congenial and supportive, giving everyone a chance, at least once. As a bandleader and hired gun, he can rise to any creative challenge the music has to offer, with fierce intelligence and finely honed chops.” —Rick Mitchell
