The Oregon Coast Jazz Party celebrates great live jazz – and the dedicated fans who love it – in the beautiful town of Newport, on the central Oregon coast. Expect multiple sets from renowned jazz stars, nightcap performances, and educational events during your stay.
Music Director Holly Hofmann will perform this year, and has assembled a roster of longtime favorites – as well as exciting performers who haven’t appeared before at the Oregon Coast Jazz Party. New to the event this year are pianist George Cables’s trio with bassist Essiet Okon Essiet and drummer Victor Lewis; the George Colligan Trio, led by pianist George Colligan with bassist Chris Higgins and drummer Chris Brown; and guitarist Russell Malone, Thomas Marriott on trumpet, vocalist Greta Matassa, drummer Ryan Shaw, and the Oregon-based Bossanaire Septet.
And to the delight of OCJP fans, many superb favorites return for this year: bassist John Clayton, pianist Gerald Clayton, drummer Jeff Hamilton, bassist Mary Ann McSweeney, tenor sax man Houston Person, drummer Chuck Redd and pianist Mike Wofford.
OCCA is the founding organizational sponsor of the event, and partners with local businesses and more than 60 volunteers in its production.
