13 Crepuscule & Jesse Canterbury's Vertigo
Southern California's Crepuscule Trio features the outstanding saxophonist Ken Kawamura, bassist Anthony Shadduck, and drummer Alan Cook. Performing freely improvised music rooted deeply in the jazz tradition, Crepuscule is an exciting, multi-directional ensemble. Adventurous, subtle, and effortlessly listenable. Opening is Seattle clarinetist Jesse Canterbury's Vertigo. Canterbury leads an all-acoustic ensemble in a strikingly original mix of chamber music, improvisation, and tune-oriented melodic material informed and inspired by the music of clarinetists Louis Sclavis and Michael Moore. The quartet features Joanne DeMars on cello, Chris Stover on trombone, and the great Tom Baker on guitar. Crepuscule & Vertigo perform at the Chapel Performance Space in the Good Shepherd Center (4649 Sunnyside Ave N) on Saturday, March 13 at 8pm.

19 Hot Java Cool Jazz
Starbucks presents the 15th Annual Hot Java Cool Jazz concert, benefiting music education in Seattle public schools. Starbucks presents Hot Java Cool Jazz as a way to help local high school music programs bridge the gap between what they receive in funding and what they actually need. But more than a benefit concert, Hot Java Cool Jazz is an evening of great big band jazz presented by some of Seattle's award-winning high school jazz programs. This year, Garfield, Edmonds-Woodway, Mountlake Terrace, Newport, and Roosevelt High School will take the Paramout stage in support of their arts programs. The benefit is on Friday March 19 at 7:30pm at the Paramount Theatre (911 Pike St). For more information of to purchase tickets online visit www.stgpresents.org.
