[Dixielandjazz] Portland Dixieland friendly Venues

[Chris Tyle]

The subject of this message was quite a surprise to me. As a Portland  resident for the past three years,it's been my experience that there's  rarely any traditional jazz played here. So I thought I'd better take a  look at the websites for these clubs mentioned, in case I was missing  something:
  
  www.jimmymaks.com
  www.thebluemonk.com
  
  I couldn't find anything about the Bigfoot Lounge.
  
  In looking at the March calendars for both the clubs mentioned above, I  didn't see anything remotely resembling traditional or dixieland, not  even anything remotely close to that. Not even swing/mainstream. Most  if not all seems to be either what is now referred to as "modern" jazz,  or rhythm and blues. And I didn't see any New Orleans artists. 
  
  Huh?? Did I miss something?
