Ben Wolfe Trio at Seattle Jazz Fellowship

Master bassist Ben Wolfe has Northwest roots and New York digs at the Juilliard School. He makes his second appearance at SJF, the first being at the non-profit’s original site at Vermillion. Wolfe brings in the great pianist George Colligan for this one, another major artist with Portland ties. Drummer Aaron Kimmel rounds out this trio of excellence, brought together to perform new music from Wolfe’s new CD, The Understated. Wolfe’s compositional chops are as sharp as his musicianship, both with the strong potential of swinging with intent.

Master bassist Ben Wolfe has Northwest roots and New York digs at the Juilliard School. He makes his second appearance at SJF, the first being at the non-profit’s original site at Vermillion.

While SJF primarily presents Seattle artists, it does on occasion bring in artists of international renown. As well, it has developed strong ties with the scene in Portland, something that works both ways. This trio checks both boxes. To see artists of this quality in the intimate confines at 109 S. Main is a rare bird, and one not to be missed. https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
