Portlanders: Preserving Black History with Albina Music Trust

“I don’t think you’re going to see a more extensive presentation of jazz, blues, funk — you know, Black music from Oregon — over the last 50 to 60 years.” – Calvin Walker The heyday of Albina, Portland’s historically Black neighborhood, once home to dozens of jazz clubs, will never be forgotten, thanks to the Albina Music Trust. Cofounded by Calvin Walker and Bobby Smith, this group preserves the historic music culture of Portland’s Albina District with programs that amplify the Black community’s archival media, oral histories and special events. In a few short years, Albina Music Trust has grown to include a record label, a weekly radio show debuting on KMHD and an online archive (www.albinamusictrust.com/archive). The Albina Community Archive project is documenting Albina's arts and culture legacy, engaging community members and mission-aligned organizations to preserve digital versions of the Albina community's historical materials — photography, film, audio, articles and printed materials. Using both archival footage and new interviews, this video features many of the stars of Portland’s rich Black music scene, including acclaimed drummer Mel Brown, Paul Knauls Sr., founder of the legendary Cotton Club and “mayor of Albina,” guitarist Norman Sylvester and vocalist Renn Woods.
