On Saturday, December 28th, at Town Hall, Seattle audiences can see a gospel choir and tap dancer Alex Dugdale perform with the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra for Earshot Jazz’s 25th annual presentation of Duke Ellington’s Sacred Music concerts. The three Sacred Music Concerts, which premiered in 1965, 1968, and 1973, convey intense emotion and brought jazz tradition into church. Ellington credits these as his most important music ever written. The sheer scale of these concerts makes them infrequently performed.
On Friday, December 6th, the Seattle Jazz Composers Ensemble performs at the Chapel performance space. SJCE is a flexible project for composers, musicians, and artists with a wide range of sonic exploration. They have commissioned new pieces from more than 20 composers as they continue to seek more community support, grant funding, and collaborative projects for Seattle artists.
Earshot Jazz honors jazz as a vital Black American art form through live performance presentations, artist advocacy, and community engagement.
