On Friday, July 11, Jamison Square Park came alive with rhythm, soul, and the community spirit of hundreds who gathered for Jazz in the Pearl, a free outdoor concert featuring the iconic Norman Sylvester Band with special guest vocalist Lenanne Miller.
From the first note at 6:30 PM, the park was buzzing with energy. Attendees brought lawn chairs, picnic blankets, and their favorite beverages to settle in for two hours of unforgettable live jazz. The Norman Sylvester Band delivered a powerhouse performance, and Lenanne Miller’s soulful vocals filled the square, drawing cheers and applause throughout the evening.
The park was filled to the brim with neighbors, visitors, and music lovers of all ages enjoying a perfect Portland summer night. Whether perched on the fountain steps or lounging under the trees, the crowd soaked up every moment of music, connection, and celebration.
This event was proudly presented by the Pearl District Neighborhood Association and the Northwest Community Conservancy, and was part of the Portland Parks & Recreation’s Summer Free For All series.
Thank you to everyone who came out and made the evening so special—we’re so lucky to have such a vibrant, supportive community.
We can’t wait to see you at the next one! 💛
