Skerik Quartet with Jimmie Herrod at Seattle Jazz Fellowship

Fresh off his residency at the Earshot Jazz Festival, tenor saxophonist Skerik settles into the Pioneer Square digs of Seattle Jazz Festival for a two night run.

Fresh off his residency at the Earshot Jazz Festival, tenor saxophonist Skerik settles into the Pioneer Square digs of Seattle Jazz Festival for a two night run. Long eschewing the title of being a jazz musician, Skerik has ventured into the world of music with a rare openness that allows him to fit into the vibe of a wide swath of the modern music scene. For this two night run at SJF, he leads his standard quartet featuring drummer D'Vonne Lewis, pianist Tim Kennedy and bassist Geoff Harper, a band that has evolved organically performing live over the course of the past decade. This time, they welcome a special guest in sensational vocalist Jimmie Herrod.

Herrod gained national fame for his run on America's Got Talent, but his vocal genius has long been known to music lovers in the PNW, as a solo artist, stage performer and lead vocalist of Pink Martini. With due respect to those institutions, Herrod's art is best illuminated performing with musicians like Skerik and the crew. His talent is transcendent, and in this context, not to be missed. https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
