Andre St. James - NW Bassist and Jazz icon R.I.P
Bassist Andre St. James is a cornerstone of the rich, thriving Pacific Northwest jazz scene and works regularly with his own quintet, the Andre St. James/Roger Woods nonet, Mel Brown, Dan Balmer, Gordon Lee, Renato Caranto, Sandy Dennison, and Carlton Jackson among others. One of the best-known and most respected figures of Portland's jazz scene, St. James currently teaches at Portland's Northwest Academy and was a faculty member of the Mt. Hood Festival of Jazz from 1989 to 2004. He first came through Oregon in 1979 (on tour with the San Francisco-based Gregory James Quartet), liked what he saw and soon after relocated to the Eugene area and eventually to Portland (in 1986).
