Anat Cohen and Marçello Goncalves met in Brazil while the former was touring there. They formed a friendship that led to recording an album “Outra Coisas,” featuring orchestral music of Moacir Santos arranged by Gonçalves for guitar and clarinet. They play some of that music here, as well as songs by Milton Nascimento and Anat Cohen. Anat and Marçello were both on the faculty of the weeklong Centrum Jazz Workshop that precedes the public concerts in the last weekend of July.
The artistic director for Jazz Port Townsend is John Clayton, the jazz program manager is Gregg Miller, and Rob Birman is the executive director of Centrum.

The Festival:
Spend a week living and learning with some of the finest musicians in the jazz world. Led by Artistic Director John Clayton, Jazz Port Townsend is the summer jazz camp designed to take you to the next level of musicianship. There’s a lot to learn at Jazz Port Townsend in 2018 and we are excited to introduce you to several faculty who are new this year. Whether it’s your first time here or your 33rd, you’ll find lots of fresh input on how to improve throughout the year.
The workshop is open to participants high school-aged and above, so whether you’re a journeyman performer, aspiring professional, or an enthusiastic beginner, you’ll find colleagues who are the perfect fit for you to make music with. If you are an educator, please visit our Educator Track section to learn how you can be a part of the week.
Artistic Director John Clayton has hand-picked faculty who are outstanding both as performers and teachers. They’ll inspire you with their playing and then work with you directly to develop your own skills.
You’ll receive focused instruction as you rehearse daily in combos or vocal classes. Jazz Theory sessions provide valuable information for increasing your skills as an improviser. Masterclasses are conducted each day by faculty members who cover topics specific to their chosen instruments. “Faculty Presents” concerts each afternoon give you a chance to hear performances in an intimate setting. The workshop culminates in a series of “Students Present” concerts in which all participants have an opportunity to perform.
