Come celebrate the launch of the Jackson Street Jazz Trail, a self-guided walking tour of Seattle’s historic jazz district. See the unveiling of the new website with a video presentation describing stop on the trail by jazz author Paul de Barros. The trail guides you through the Jackson Street jazz sites, from the vintage murals at the Club Royale in the Chinatown International District to the storied Black and Tan, at the Central District hub of 12th and Jackson. Sign up early and get a personal walking tour of the district.
A selection of vintage photographs from the Jackson Street After Hours exhibit will be on hand, as well as live music featuring Darelle Holden and her ensemble, refreshments and testimonials from a selection of representatives of the many organizations that made the Jackson Street Jazz Trail happen: Earshot Jazz, The Black Heritage Society, Friends of Little Saigon, Wing Luke Museum and the Jackson Street Music Program.
