ToST, 513 N 36th St, 547-0240, 8pm

From Earshot Jazz:
Wayne Horvitz and Robin Holcomb, our internationally known, resident keyboardists, composers, and creative spark plugs, have used their long-standing New York Composers Orchestra project to launch the new Washington Composers Orchestra (WACO), a 15-piece ensemble made up of top-flight Seattle performers and composers. WACO takes over ToST in Fremont on the last Sunday nights of April, May, and June. The compositions are unique, the ensemble work and solos are world-class, and the band carries forward a wonderful and long-standing jazz tradition of a big band in a small room, where there could very well be more people on the stage than in the audience. But if you’re lucky enough to be one of them, there is nothing quite like it.

Tonight makes a strong case for having a clone…

From Earshot Jazz: The Seattle Jazz Vespers continues this month with Zazou. The sextet features accordion, lead and harmony vocals, string bass, rhythm and lead guitars and percussion. With a repertoire, including original material, inspired by the sophisticated melodies of French Jazz Manouche, Parisian Musette, Latin American popular songs and American Swing Jazz, Zazou draws together a multitude of musical influences and incorporates a driving European string-swing rhythm to pay homage to the music of the past while creating an original sound that is contemporary and exciting. The members of Zazou are Ryan Hoffman on lead and rhythm guitar, Johnny Calcagno and Jeff Smith on rhythm guitar, Hugh Sutton on accordion and vocals, Ms. Jessica on vocals and string bass and Joseph Mascorella on drums and vocals. The sextet will perform a 100-minute secular concert, with an inspirational interlude.
