The Portland Jazz Festival’s PDXJazz is starting a new series at the ArtBar featuring local talent.  For the next three months, a wide variety of groups (everything from the Blue Cranes to Dave Frishberg) will take the stage on select Friday and Saturday nights.

Good news for frugal audience members – the series is free with no food or drink minimum.

The series starts this Saturday (9/19) with the David Friesen trio featuring Dan Balmer and John Gross.
