Seattle Jazz Scene

from Jim Wilke …

This Sunday on Jazz Northwest, we’ll feature Seattle jazz bassist Buddy Catlett on some of his high profile gigs from the 60s with Louis Armstrong and Coleman Hawkins. Buddy is also a Seattle jazz treasure and many Seattle bands have benefited from his pulse. There’s a benefit fundraiser Sunday for Buddy at the Pampas Room at El Gaucho from 5 to 11 as he makes the transition to assisted living and deals with medical expenses.

We’ll also have music by Kareem Kandi, Mark Lewis, Byron Vannoy, Trish Hatley and others on Jazz Northwest, Sunday afternoon at 1 on 88-5, KPLU.
