This event will include a silent auction to help raise funds for JSO Student Scholarships. Great items will be available for auction, including tickets to Oregon Symphony events, Heathman Hotel (and other fine hotels) overnight stays, restaurant dinners, personal performances by jazz musicians and much more. This is a wonderful way to benefit jazz education and pick up some terrific gift and collectors items.

We will announce this year's JSO Hall of Fame Honoree who will be our guest of honor at this reception.

Music is provided by the Darrell Grant Trio, who will play for an hour, to be followed by an All-Star jam, featuring First Jazz musicians and Symphony musicians.

The Heathman will provide a scrumptious buffet, with complimentary local wines and beers available, as well as soft drinks. There will be a no-host bar for hard liquor.

This is a tremendous opportunity to meet musicians, listen to great music, eat fabulous food, sample the splendid wines and beers of the area, and most of all, benefit jazz education. All profits from this evening's event will go directly into jazz scholarships.

Don't miss this exciting kickoff to First Jazz 2000 Weekend!
