Earshot Jazz is excited to welcome back the dynamic duo of Ken Vandermark and Paal Nilssen-Love to The Royal Room, for the first time since 2015. Vandermark and Nilssen-Love first began working together with the group School Days, which later became a trio called FME, along with Nate McBride on bass. From there, they continued their collaboration as a duo.

The Seattle jazz community suffered a huge loss on October 9, 2022, with the passing of musician and mentor Chuck Deardorf.
