'Jazz at the Bank’ features Noia Jean Bogle
A real treat awaits Portland area
jazz fans as Nola Jean Bogle, one of
the top jazz singers in the Northwest,
headlines “ Jazz at the Bank,” Satur
day, June 24th at 8:30 p.m ., at the
Oregon Bank in Lake Oswego (4th and
A Streets).
Miss Bogle will make her second ap
pearance at the annual summer event,
having thrilled the jazz loving audien
ce in 1975 with her interpretations of
ballads and jazz standards.
Miss Bogle was an outstanding
member o f the Portland jazz com
munity for nearly ten years, singing
with the City's best at such places as
Sidney’s, The River Queen, The Ben
son Hotel, The Thunderbird and The
Beachcomber. She went into semi-
retirement in the early 70’s and her
fans considered themselves lucky in
deed when they were able to hear her
sitting in on rare occasions at local jazz
spots.
Her material runs the gamut from
the sensitive ballad "The Nearness of
You” to the hard swinging and
demanding “ Bye, Bye, Blackbird.”
Jazz at the Bank has a special
meaning to Miss Bogle, who says it
provides an opportunity for her to per
form for an audience which comes only
to listen to the artist. She says, “ Jazz at
the Bank” is like a dream come true
for most club singers like myself who
sometimes feel cast in the role as
background music for drinking and
socializing.”
She has selected an outstanding
quartet of Portland jazz players to ac
company her. Dynamic drummer Mel
Brown, pianist George Svetich, trum
peter Thara Memory and bassist Brad
Herrett are all well known to Portland
area jazz aficionados.
Admission is a $4 donation to the
Andre Garand Scholarship Fund.
Tickets are available at Stevens & Sons,
Meier & Frank and at the door.
