Joe Locke & Thomas Marriott Quartet
Thursday, July 11, 7:30pm
Tula’s Restaurant & Nightclub
2214 Second Ave, Seattle
(206) 443-4221

Trumpeter and frequent Joe Locke collaborator Thomas Marriott, drummer John Bishop and bassist Jeff Johnson join the jazz vibraphonist for tonight’s performance.

Locke, named the number one vibes player by a DownBeat Critic’s Poll, has over 25 albums as a leader. He’s performed and recorded with Dizzy Gillespie, Ron Carter, Geoffrey Keezer, Kenny Barron, Dianne Reeves, Rod Stewart, and the Beastie Boys.

Marriott’s appeared with Locke at jazz festivals and clubs nationally, and the two appear on each other’s albums – Marriott featuring Locke on Individuation, Both Sides of the Fence and Flexicon and Locke featuring Marriott on Force of Four. In 2007, Marriott joined Locke for a performance at the Port Townsend Jazz Festival that won a Golden Ear Award for Northwest Concert of the Year.

Locke was born in Palo Alto, California, transplanted to the East, later studying classical percussion and composition at the Eastman School of Music, and is a self-taught improviser. He’s been on the scene for over thirty years and totally smokes the vibes. Go on!

Tickets are $20; reservations are recommended and can be made by calling (206) 443-4221 or by email to [email protected]. Tula’s is an all-ages venue until 10pm.

Seattle Times: Kelly Harland returns to R&B roots

from The Seattle Times:

Seattle singer Kelly Harland usually sings jazz standards, but at Bake’s Place Friday, June 28, she returns to her R&B roots.

Kelly Harland, known in these parts as a sparkling, elegantly swinging singer of jazz standards, actually has roots in rock and R&B, having been signed years ago to A&M Records in the swirl of swinging London. Harland (above, center) returns to her roots with an all-star band comprising her husband, Chuck Deardorf (bass), Danny Hoefer (guitar), Nick Moore (keyboards), Chris Leighton (drums) and background vocals by two of Cornish College’s brightest lights, instructor Johnaye Kendrick and student Jimmie Herrod. High-heeled sneakers advised.

The Kelly Harland band performs at 8 p.m. Friday at Bake’s Place, 155 108th Ave. N.E., Bellevue $20 (425-454-2776 or http://bakesplacebellevue.com). Dinner seating at 6 p.m.

Roscoe Mitchell performed last weekend at a concert put on by Table and Chairs at Benaroya Hall. Table & Chairs, a New Music record label located in Seattle, brought the legendary saxophonist and composer ROSCOE MITCHELL to Benaroya Hall, where he was featured in a concert dedicated entirely to his landmark composition, “Nonaah” [no-NAY-uh]. The performance  featured a rare, extended solo saxophone performance by the composer himself, as well as several different arrangements of “Nonaah” spanning the length of Mitchell’s career. Starting off the musical performances was a Cello Quartet version of Nonaah featuring Sonja Myklebust, David Balatero, Maria Scherer-Wilson, and Natalie Hall. Then Roscoe Mitchell played his solo version of Nonaah, followed by an Alto Saxophone Quartet of Jacob Zimmerman, Ivan Arteaga, Andrew Swanson, and Neil Welch. Bad Luck, Neil Welch, tenor saxophone and Christopher Icasiano, drumset then played their version,  Nonaah Reimagined.
