Noah Bernstein
Bernstein holds degrees in jazz saxophone performance from Oberlin Conservatory and in creative writing from Oberlin College (’06). During his tenure he had the honor of studying under such venerable jazz innovators as Gary Bartz, Robin Eubanks, Billy Hart, Donald Byrd, and the late Wendell Logan.
A respected advocate for live music, Bernstein spent a year after graduation forming a Sunday night jazz series at The Feve in downtown Oberlin. (The series continues to this day.) Upon moving to Portland in late 2007, he devoted three years to curating shows five nights a week at the Camellia Lounge in Portland’s Pearl District. His efforts transformed the venue from an obscure tea-house/bar to one of the more well-respected hosts of jazz performances in the city.
Bernstein grew up in rural Vermont. He carries with him its brooding forests and rolling hills wherever he goes.
