SARAH VAUGHAN APPEARS
WITH SYMPHONY
Jazz vocalist Sarah Vaughan and conductor Norman Leyden appear
together again with the Waymon Reed Quartet and the Oregon Symphony
Pops Orchestra in Portland Civic Auditorium, Sunday, March 9 at 8:00 pm.
Vaughan and Leyden recorded together in the early fifties under the direction
of M itch M ille r at Colum bia Records. This perform ance, their first
collaboration in live performance, will be a benefit for ARTQUAKE, Por­
tland’ s annual celebration of art, craft, performing arts, food and fun.
Vaughan’s delivery and repertoire have embraced nearly every type o f
music: gospeal, jazz, classical and pop. She enjoys the great distincition o f
being an incomparable jazz performer with the range and ability o f an opera
singer. Equally at home with a jazz quartet or a symphony orchestra,
Vaughan will be backed by both in this special performance, singing some of
her favorite such as “ Since She Went Away, ” “ Misty, ” “ / Got It Bad. "
“ Wave, " “ There W ill Never Be Another You, “ “ Easy Living, “ “ Summer­
tim e " medley, “ Someone To Watch Over M e” medley and “ Send In The
Clowns."
The Oregon Symphony Pops Orchestra, under Leyden's direction has sold
out its regular series for eight years running, so this special performance
provides an opportunity for people who have been unable to obtain tickets
tor the series performances to enjoy Leyden’s smooth, easy-going conducting
style and the light, popular repertoire for the Pops Orchestra.
Arlene Schnitzer, president o f the ARTQUAKE board o f directors for
1980, expressed her enthusiasm about the March 9 benefit performance as the
first step toward year-round Festival programming and fund raising. The
thirty members o f the newly expanded Festival board are generating a wide
base o f community support through sale o f patron tickets for the Sarah
Vaughan performance.

w o n d erfu l p ersonality. He's playful and likes m ucho a tte n tio n . I
w o u ld n 't trade him in for any other kind of pet. FFerrets. by the w ay,
are related to weasels and were often trained to hunt rats or rabbits."

plains that, "I really w an t to own a ferret farm one day."
