Chuck Israels live in Portland

Experience Chuck Israels live on September 10th

Chuck Israels will be performing at The Jack London Revue in Portland, Oregon on September 10, 2026. Israels is a highly respected bassist and composer known for his work spanning jazz, classical, and world music influences. His style is characterized by melodic improvisation, a strong rhythmic foundation, and a penchant for exploring unusual harmonic textures. He gained prominence in the 1960s as a member of the Bill Evans Trio, contributing significantly to their landmark recordings. Subsequently, he led his own ensembles, frequently incorporating extended compositions and collaborative projects with musicians from diverse backgrounds.

The Jack London Revue operates as a performance venue and restaurant located in Portland’s Kerns neighborhood. Originally opened in 2017, it occupies a historic building previously housing several iterations of entertainment spaces dating back to the 1930s. The venue focuses on presenting live music – particularly jazz, cabaret, and French chanson – within an intimate setting reminiscent of classic supper clubs. It aims to recreate the atmosphere of Parisian cabarets of the early 20th century through its décor and programming choices. The space also features a full-service restaurant offering French-inspired cuisine.
