On September 21, the Portland Jazz Festival will bring tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins to the Arlene Schnitzer concert hall. The concert, which takes place outside of the regular festival week, will be a rare chance to catch one of the last living legends of jazz history. In preparation for the event, JazzPDX.org will bring you videos and links to other information on the tenor giant. |
