Seattle Jazz Scene

from The Monktail Creative Music Concern:

Due to insurmountable financial hardship, Sounds Outside 2011 has been canceled.

This unfortunate decision comes with a great amount of regret, however we turn our focus, hope, and vision to the other powerful artistic performances and activities cultivated by each of our respective organizations.

More than ever, we encourage you to step outside of the box to connect, communicate, and collectively engage with each other. Though this decision marks the end of an era, it does not mark the end of an idea.

On behalf of Advocates for Abundance and the Monktail Creative Music Concern – Thank you for supporting 5 years of Sounds Outside: A Celebration of Adventurous Music & Community.

Vocalist, and former Seattle native, Kendra Shank will appear at Tula’s Jazz Club on Friday, July 29. Joining her will be Steve Christofferson (piano), Jeff Johnson (bass) and John Bishop (drums).

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.
