Welcome to Bossa PDX! We’re a Portland-based band founded in 2017 that pays tribute to the masters of Brazilian jazz and bossa nova. Find out where we are playing, or drop us a line at bossapdx at gmail dot com.
ABOUT US
Since May 2024, we’ve held a monthly residency at Portland jazz club The 1905, featuring a different Brazilian composer every month. (Every January is reserved for Jobim.)
In 2019, our bandleader, Kerry Politzer, released “Diagonal: A Tribute to Durval Ferreira.” The album is available on Bandcamp and was included in Mark Holston’s three-part “Back to Brazil” series at All About Jazz.
Recent performances include the Cathedral Park Jazz Festival, the Keynote Concert Series, and the Walters Cultural Arts Center, as well as many free, accessible concerts throughout the Multnomah and Fort Vancouver library systems. Please follow this page for updates.
