Seattle’s Earshot Jazz Festival has announced the lineup for its 34th edition, to be held from October 8 through November 6 at venues throughout Seattle.
Produced by the non-profit Earshot Jazz organization, the Earshot Jazz Festival includes 40 events across 30 days. Although it features nationally and internationally renowned artists, its emphasis remains on local jazz talents with performances, commissioned premieres, and special projects.
The 2022 artist in residence is saxophonist, tap dancer, composer, and educator Alex Dugdale, who will premiere new works for both big band and small ensembles, including a new commission.
The full lineup is below (all times PT). Visit Earshot Jazz’s website for more information and ticket sales.
