The 2008 Earshot Jazz Festival will run from October 17 – November 2.
Now in its 20th year, the Earshot Jazz Festival presents the full spectrum of jazz — from high profile concerts in Seattle’s fine halls, to cutting-edge creations that move the art form ever forward. The event is respected for honoring the deep heritage of jazz while celebrating the leading edges of the art form. This year’s festival will present hundreds of the most important artists of our day in more than 60 events in venues all around Seattle. In addition to concert performances, the festival includes educational programs and panels, a film series, poetry and author readings, and art exhibits.
Coming in 2008
Cecil Taylor, Marilyn Crispel, Maceo Parker, Billy Bang, Larry Ochs, Ravi Coltrane, Marcin Wasilewski, Gerry Granelli’s V-16, James Moody w/ Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, and many, many more.
