Trombonist Beserat Tafesse burst on the scene as a bandleader and side musician seemingly out of nowhere. The eastside native returned to the PNW after some time in New York, and has been highly visible and active since. Tafesse will pull out imaginative originals and selected standards to explore with a talented quartet in tow.

Pianist Matt Williams is worth the effort to head on down to 109 S. Main in himself. A brilliant jazz pianist, Williams headlines his own gigs with his trio and curates the longtime jam session at the Owl n Thistle. Bassist Geoff Harper is a versatile player whose comfort zone ranges from bebop to free jazz. His tenure performing live and in the studio with Julian Priester is noteworthy. Drummer Christopher Icasiano is one half of the out duo, Bad Luck. He is seen often in trios led by Williams and Ann Reynolds. He is a touring member of the highly successful Seattle based folk-rock band, Fleet Foxes. https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
