"Live music can be found in more than 150 establishments in the Portland metropolitan area. Music for dancing, for listening, or for digesting the excellent cuisine served up routinely nearly everywhere. Rock music prevails in about 55 spots. Jazz, in its many guises, is a close second in some 48 clubs. Country-western can be found in approximately 37 places, while 35 or so others offer everything from classical to easy-listening, pop, folk, piano bar, even harp."

From the author: This was a compendium of clubs and musicians in Oregon, which meant primarily the burgeoning music scene of 1981 Portland. It included 150 local musicians plus several nationals/internationals who were performing at the first Mt. Hood Jazz Festival, for which release of the book was timed. The author actually received more acclaim from the stars than the locals. And she is still angry that she lost her copyright to a flaky publisher.

Portland's amazing music scene was a secret then. And today it's not quite as bustling but has better musicians than most places and still more music than lots of others. And unfortunately still pretty much a secret. So we must tell the world!
