A concert by The Alma College Percussion Ensemble was a surprise hit at Centrum’s Jazz Port Townsend last July. Highlights from the concert will air Sunday 1/13 at 1:00 pm on Jazz Northwest. Playing vibes, marimbas, steel pans, bells, Latin percussion and all kinds of drums, the thirty outstanding young musicians earned a standing ovation. Traveling from Alma, Michigan to play at Port Townsend for a large and very appreciative crowd was a highlight of their summer and the festival! The Alma College Percussion Ensemble is directed by David Zerbe, and vibist Joe Locke was a special guest.

Jazz Northwest is recorded and produced by Jim Wilke and heard every Sunday on 88.5 KPLU and kplu.org. Made possible by The Boeing Company, Jazz Northwest streams live to the web and is also available on demand as a podcast after the broadcast at www.kplu.org.
