from Earshot: The Seattle Women’s Jazz Orchestra (SWOJO) performs at Tula’s Restaurant and Nightclub on Monday, July 11, at 7pm. SWOJO has included some of the leading women jazz players in the Pacific Northwest for more than 10 years. Since its inception in 2000, the band has performed at clubs, jazz festivals, and concert halls on two continents, most recently close to home at the Poverty Bay Wine Festival. SWOJO has appeared with a number of distinguished jazz artists, including Don Lanphere, Mimi Fox, Becca Duran, Susan Pascal, Sue Orfield, Greta Matassa, and Ingrid Jensen. The ensemble’s mission is to foster a supportive environment for women in jazz, while also maintaining a high level of musicianship and dedication to jazz repertoire. SWOJO’s library covers the entire spectrum of big band jazz, from the earliest swing years through bebop, Latin, and contemporary writers. SWOJO proudly features the music of many classic and local composers and arrangers, such as Charles Mingus, Mary Lou Williams, Robin Holcomb, Wayne Horvitz, and SWOJO’s musical director, Dr. Daniel Barry. Admission is $7 at the door.
