Marina Albero will join on piano, fronting a rhythm section that includes drummer Chris Icasiano and bassist Jonti Siman. Blues guitarist Alex Wilson, trumpeter Thomas Marriott and multi-reedist Darian Asplund round out the band. Experiencing live music in a room dedicated to just that is a pleasure. The hang is the thing as well, as SJF continues to work to make the room welcoming with the long dark months ahead. This gig is a good opportunity to celebrate community!https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
