About this concert
Pianist/composer Darrell Grant and vocalist Marilyn Keller have been performing together since their friendship started at a 1998 concert commemorating 1920’s "Jazz Age in Paris." In the two decades since, Keller’s powerful alto and Grant’s jazz piano have traveled together from New Orleans to New York City to Vladivostok, Russia and in projects dating from Grant’s late-90’s People Music Project and a highly-regarded Duke Ellington tribute at the Mount Hood Jazz Festival to many more recent collaborations. In celebration of the anniversary of their inaugural engagement, this performance will feature Grant and Keller performing repertoire from throughout their 20+ year friendship. The program will include intimate versions of selections from Grant’s celebrated works Step By Step: The Ruby Bridges Suite and The Territory as well as jazz standards and originals they have collaborated on over the years.

Darrell Grant Biography
Since the release of his debut album Black Art, one of the New York Times' top ten jazz CDs of 1994, Darrell Grant has built an international reputation as a pianist, composer, and educator who channels the power of music to make change. He has performed throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe in venues ranging from Paris’s La Villa jazz club to the Havana Jazz Festival. Dedicated to themes of hope, community, and place, Grant’s compositions include Step by Step: The Ruby Bridges Suite honoring the civil rights icon, The Territory which explores Oregon’s landscape and history, and Sanctuaries, a jazz chamber opera exploring gentrification. Since moving to Portland, Oregon, he has been named Portland Jazz Hero by the Jazz Journalist Association, received a Northwest Regional Emmy, an Oregon Arts Commission Fellowship, a MAP Fund grant, and the Governor’s Arts Award. He is a Professor of Music at Portland State University where he directs the Artist as Citizen Initiative.
