The U.S. Postal Service con-
tinues its tradition of celebrat-
ing Kwanzaa with a new 2016
Forever stamp.
Kwanzaa takes place over
seven days from Dec. 26 to
Jan. 1, drawing on African tra-
ditions to bring family, com-
munity and culture together.
The new Kwanza stamp fea-
tures a woman holding a bowl
that overflows with fruits and
vegetables, symbolizing the
abundance of African first har-
vest celebrations that inspired
the creation of Kwanzaa in
1966.
Kwanzaa derives its name
from the phrase “first fruits” in
Swahili, a widely spoken Afri-
can language. It has its origins
in first harvest celebrations that
occurred across the African
continent in ancient and mod-
ern times. Kwanzaa synthe-

McCoy Tyner at Revolution Hall
PDX Jazz presents legend-
ary jazz pianist McCoy Tyner
live in concert at Revolution
Hall, the former Washington
High School site at 1300 S.E.
Stark St., on Tuesday, Oct. 18,
in his first Portland appearance
in nearly a decade.
A National Endowment for
the Arts Jazz Master and five
time Grammy Award winner,
Tyner should need no intro-
duction. His blues-based piano
style, replete with sophisticat-
ed chords and an explosively
percussive left hand has tran-
scended conventional styles to
become one of the most iden-
tifiable sounds in improvised
music.
Tyner rose to fame as the pia-
nist for some of John Coltrane’s
most revered albums such as
My Favorite Things, Live! at
the Village Vanguard, and A
Love Supreme before founding
his own band in the late 1960s.
Over the years, Tyner has col-
