PDX Jazz, the presenting organization of the Portland Jazz Festival, in partnership with Jimmy Mak’s announces five-time GRAMMY® nominated vocalist Tierney Sutton as part of the ongoing series, PDX Jazz @ Jimmy Mak’s. The revered vocalist and her band will make their Portland debut and perform songs from their most recent GRAMMY® nominated album, American Road, at Jimmy Mak’s on Monday, April 30 at 7pm and 9pm.
The Tierney Sutton Band consists of Sutton, pianist Christian Jacob, drummer Ray Brinker and bassists Kevin Axt and Trey Henry. They have played together for over 19 years and have released nine critically acclaimed and chart-appearing albums. American Road is Sutton’s fourth consecutive GRAMMY® nominated album for “Best Vocal Jazz Album” and fifth overall. It contains songs from George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sonheim’s musical, West Side Story, as well as transcending versions of traditional songs like “Wayfaring Stranger” and “Oh Shenandoah.”
Sutton is a Milwaukee native and Berklee College of Music graduate who has since become one of the world’s preeminent jazz vocalists. JazzWeek honored Sutton recently with the “Vocalist of the Year” award. Aside from working with her band, Sutton actively performs in a trio featuring jazz flute icon Hubert Laws and guitarist Larry Koonse as well as the Turtle Island Quartet. She has also collaborated with composer Johnny Mandel, trumpeter Wayne Bergeron, pianist Shelly Berg, The Frank Macchia Bigband, and The Chris Walden Big Band.
“A serious jazz artist who takes the whole enterprise to another level”
