Jazz Northwest Features New Releases By NW Artists And Earshot Jazz Festival Performers

The Earshot Jazz Festival continues through November 11 in Seattle including a great variety of resident and touring artists in various locations.  

Jazz Northwest will sample music by some of these artists, including several who have new releases just coming out and also one of the signature events, Pharoah Sanders (pictured) who plays November 7 at Town Hall in Seattle.  Also on this program are new releases by Thomas Marriott, The Spin Quartet, Hal Galper and Wayne Horvitz among others.

Jazz Northwest airs on Sundays at 2 PM Pacific on 88.5 KPLU and streams at kplu.org.  The program is also available as a streaming podcast following the broadcast.  Jazz Northwest is recorded and produced by Jim Wilke exclusively for 88.5 KPLU.

Next week, a concert by four young former Seattle musicians who formed a brass quartet in New York where they all now reside. The quartet is called The Westerlies, and their performance at The Chapel Performance Space in Seattle was recorded for Jazz Northwest and will air on November 9.
