Seattle’s annual Earshot Jazz Festival kicked off on Friday (October 15th). There are many, many great acts and you should see as many as you can. There are a couple that I will attend when I return from Portland on Thursday.
Look for me at the DBR & Emeline Michel show at the TRIPLE DOOR this Thursday, October 21 at 7PM
"This Haitian-American violinist Daniel Bernard Roumain, has huge classical chops and is a musical omnivore (he has performed with Lady Gaga and the Boston Pops). He appears with the “queen of Haitian song,” Emeline Michel. During her two-decade-long career as a singer, songwriter, and dancer, Michel has brought together sensibilities that span several generations. Dubbed the “queen of Haitian song,” Michel is most well-known for bringing political and social messages to a combination of native Haitian forms such as the compas, twoubadou, and rara.
Presented by City Arts Festival and Earshot Jazz. $20 advance, $25 day of show, Earshot members $2 discount
I will also be at the James Carter, John Medeski, “Heaven on Earth” band show this Friday, October 22, at the TRIPLE DOOR.
The incredible saxophonist James Carter and organist John Medeski (Medeski Martin & Wood) take us on a jazz-jam ride into the ionosphere with guitarist Adam Rodgers, bassist Ralphe Armstrong, and drummer Lee Pearson.
Co-presented with City Arts Festival. $30 general, $28 members/seniors, $20 students
See you there.
