Martha Gies

Jumptown: The Golden Years of Portland Jazz, 1942-1957
Robert Dietsche
For a golden decade following World War II, a thriving African American neighborhood—that would soon be bulldozed for urban renewal—spawned a jazz heyday rarely rivaled on the West Coast. Such luminaries as Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Oscar Peterson, Dave Brubeck, and Wardell Gray headlined Portland clubs and traded chops with the up-and-coming local talent. Dietsche's compendium of stories and moments brings to life the citizens of this jazz village.
