Given the givens looking forward to 2021 is a happy activity. One thing we can count on in 2021 is that there will be a Portland Jazz Festival in February. And as we always do, the executive director is here to tell us about all the performers, how they will perform and how PDX Jazz has been plowing through the muck of the past year. Chris Doss came on for 2020’s festival in his first year on the job, and he’s in Café Artichoke with me to run down everything you’ll hear and see in 2021 from top to bottom. Believe me, it’s a pleasure to actually talk about music and musicians and festivals again.
