There was a time, when Pioneer Square was the center of the Seattle jazz scene, with three jazz clubs beckoning music fans with local and touring talent. Parnell's (now Davidson Gallery), The Pioneer Banque (now Magic Mouse Toys) and the New Orleans Creole Restaurant (Now Darn the Weather) are gone, but the Fellowship's now year old jazz room on Main St. is dedicated to live jazz four nights a week. Pioneer Square in the 1990's featured a slew of clubs up and down First Avenue where partrons for the price of one cover, could hit ten clubs and see ten bands in a single evening. For this one Tuesday night in February, thirteen sites will deliver thirteen bands to jazz fans free of charge, reviving the spirit of Seattle's original community.

Between the Fellowship's membership driven model and this special night of free jazz music, the non-profit puts its best foot forward in lowering those barriers of access to the music. It puts the ideals of community and the fellowship it creates front and center.
