EASTSIDE JAZZ CLUB: Janette West
from Earshot Jazz: Vocalist Janette West’s recently released CD Snapshot (Pony Boy Records) is garnering attention as a fresh and gentle yet rhythmic set of music with an exciting band, full of Latin and R&B energy. West began singing as a child after being introduced to jazz by her mother. She migrated to Seattle in the 1970s and landed in the center of a vibrant club scene. She worked with R&B organ trios for several years, opening for acts like Jimi Hendrix and Tina Turner, and performed for many radio and TV jingles. She went on to work six nights a week performing up and down the West Coast with various groups, including the popular band Smoke. In the early 1990s, she fronted a big band and a smooth jazz outfit, performing at festivals and clubs. Today, Janette and drummer and husband Marty Tuttle have their own quartet, playing the American songbook with a twist. Marty brings to the table strong roots in Afro/Cuban music, which he has studied relentlessly throughout his lifetime. The Janette West Quartet performs as part of the Eastside Jazz Club programming at Sherman Clay in Bellevue. Tickets are $13 for adults; Students 18 and under, $8.
