Tokio’s original painting became the visual foundation for this year’s festival — bringing together jazz, surrealism, Portland iconography, and vibrant imagination in a way only he can.

A returning collaborator, Tokio has also created festival poster art in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

Singer Gina Saputo and keyboard artist,Joe Bagg and special guest Sebastian came to Becker Canyon Studio today. I last saw Gina and Joe as they performed at the 2026 PDX Jazz Festival. Two-year old Sebastian watched his parents go through their photography paces but In truth he paid scant attention to the photo action, choosing his toys instead. Gina, Joe, and Sebastian join the ever expanding list of artists who have lend their images to support the Jeremy Wilson Foundation. @ginasaputo @jjbagg
