Greg Williamson, Buddy Catlett and Floyd Standfer with Hiroshi Egashira at Hiroshi’s, June 2006

After 7 1/2 years of presenting jazz every Friday night, tomorrow night (Friday, September 27) will be the final Jazz & Sushi at Hiroshi’s.

Hiroshi’s catering business, Uwajimaya business, and stadium sushi stands have done so well that he has built a larger catering kitchen, which he will move into next month, and he is shutting down his day-to-day restaurant.

Hats off to drummer Greg Williamson for the fine music that he has curated and for Hiroshi’s for presenting a weekly paid jazz gig for hundreds of musicians.

The last night is sure to be a blowout night with many guests sitting in. We recommend arriving early and getting a good seat!

John Coltrane’s birthday is actually Monday, but tonight we are celebrating his music at Tula’s Jazz Club.

The John Coltrane Birthday Celebration will feature Alexey Nikolaev (saxophone), Thomas Marriott (trumpet), Eric Verlinde (piano), Phil Sparks (bass) and Matt Jorgensen (drums). The group will perform Coltrane’s music from his extensive, yet relatively short career (he died at age 40).

The late set will also feature some special guests.

All rejoice … jazz coverage has returned (momentarily) to The Seattle Times. From their blog post today:

There was a time, decades ago, when every city in America boasted a ‘hot jazz society” — Seattle still has one devoted to early traditional jazz — in which aficionados gathered, usually monthly, to pore over new records or present concerts for their members.

In Bellevue, a good old-fashioned jazz society still exists. It’s called the Eastside Jazz Club and it’s run by the estimable South African swing drummer Lioniel Kramer and his wife, Cooksie, a pianist, who present monthly concerts by local musicians with an almost quaint air of devotion.

Every year, the club presents an “extravaganza” featuring local musicians. On Saturday, the ninth extravaganza features vibraphonist Susan Pascal and vocalist Stephanie Porter.

Read the entire post here.

The Eastside Jazz Club presents their annual Jazz Extravaganza Saturday at 7:30 at the Bellevue Courtyard by Marriott.
