August 8, 2026Time sound big band 45th anniversary
Washington Park Rose Garden Amphitheater
This summer, Albina Music Trust celebrated the 45th Anniversary of the Time Sound Big Band. For more than four decades, Time Sound has brought generations of musicians together, carrying forward a legacy of Black music, mentorship, and community that continues to inspire and shape Portland's musical landscape.
Under the direction of Greg McKelvey and Ken Berry, this milestone performance featured Javier Nero, Tahirah Memory, The Legendary Beyons, Arietta Ward & Friends, and Dennis Springer, honoring 45 years of music while celebrating the community carrying the Time Sound legacy forward. Many of this year's featured artists were descendants of original band members, reflecting the intergenerational spirit that has always been at the heart of Time Sound.
