Today, the Portland Jazz Festival announced that it will return this February, despite recent concerns about sponsorship and funding. As of a couple of weeks ago, the festival was around $100,000 short of their required budget, but with help from Alaska Airlines, the City of Portland, and others, the festival will be able to return in full capacity on February 13th, 2009.
