Join us for our free concert series with top Portland musicians! Pack a lunch or stop by one of the many nearby eateries at NE 24th and Glisan. Bring your food in (no pork or shellfish, please) and come and hear the music!

November continues our three-month collaboration with PSU’s Jazz Vocal department, bringing the best and brightest future jazz performers to EJC. Come out and support the next generation of Jazz at EJC!

The concerts will feature small ensembles and soloists that are semi-acoustic and always enlivening. The EJC welcomes seniors, parents and kids, students, and all others. What better thing is there to do on a Friday afternoon?!

AJ is a pianist, composer, and music educator based in Portland, Oregon. Shortly after moving to the US from the Philippines, AJ started classical piano lessons at the age of 5 years old. During his years studying classical piano, he participated in the National Federation of Music Clubs, in which he earned numerous awards for Outstanding Piano Solo and Concerto performances. Upon attending his first two years of college at Mt. Hood Community College, AJ was first introduced to the art of jazz music, and began studying with Mike Horsfall, and eventually Clay Giberson. His interest in jazz sparked and began to grow, which led him to transfer and study at Portland State University as a Jazz Piano major, studying with esteemed professors and musicians, George Colligan & Darrell Grant. AJ will graduate with a Bachelor’s of Music In Jazz Studies this Spring and will continue to work as a teacher and musician in the greater Portland area. Outside of music, AJ enjoys spending time with his fiancé, Clair, family, and friends.
