"A Great Day in Portland" jazz photo
The Leroy Vinnegar Jazz Institute at Portland State unveiled this photograph, “A Great Day in Portland,” in a poster celebrating the city’s vibrant jazz legacy and kicking off the institute’s annual jazz week, May 1-10. The photograph, inspired by the famous 1958 portrait “A Great Day in Harlem,” features 169 Portland musicians—from elder statesmen to young women to international artists. Noted Portland photographer Owen Carey took the photo. The 24 by 35 inch exhibit quality poster is available through the Leroy Vinnegar Jazz Institute Web site. Funds from the sale of posters and a limited edition photographic print will support the institute’s education programs.
