This evening, tradition meets innovation, as the great pianist, Jessica Williams embraces 21st Century America with new music, controversial ideas, and a powerful message for our times.
Playing piano since she was four, she grew up to be a world-famous, critically acclaimed pianist. Now, she forges a new vision and a new direction for her far-reaching creative gifts. Part concert, part talk-show, and part journey of self-discovery for her AND her audiences.
Jessica Williams:REDEFINED is more than a show: it’s a musical miracle, a life-changing experience, a constantly-evolving glimpse into the mind and life of one of today’s most important musical innovators and radical thinkers. Jessica Williams, piano, technologies, opinions, and inspiration.
Jessica describes her latest musical evolution as “changing my whole business model, working with synthesizers, using classical song forms.”
See the reinvented piano virtuoso Jessica Williams, up close and personal!

From Earshot Jazz: The Jazz Vespers series continues with an appearance by the Overton Berry Trio with Mercedes Nicole on vocals. Pianist Berry has been a fixture on the Seattle jazz scene since the 1950s and can easily be called a living legend. He has performed around the world, including throughout Asia, and has served as Music Director of many notable concert series. Singing straight-ahead jazz with an urban flare, vocalist Nicole has gained a reputation as an artistically playful and unpredictable performer, with a warm, rich, and resonant contralto voice. She is also a member of the dynamic vocal trio Cocoa Martini. They perform a 100-minute secular concert, with an inspirational interlude. Now in its sixth year, the Jazz Vespers take place on the first Sunday of each month (October through June) at the Seattle First Baptist Church on First Hill at the intersection of Union, Seneca and Harvard Streets. The concert begins at 6pm and is free. A collection is taken to permit the church to pay the musicians. Light refreshments are served in the church’s Fellowship Hall afterwards.
