A new episode of Seattle Jazzscene has been posted! Episode 17 features Up and Coming artists from the University of Washington, where I spent the last school year teaching jazz history, improvisation, and ensembles. It was a pleasure working with the many young, talented students in the jazz department, and it inspired me to play them on the podcast, as these guys truly are the future of the Seattle jazz scene. Check out the podcast in the player on the right to hear Peter Schmeeckle, Aaron Otheim, and Luke Bergman as our featured artists on Seattle Jazzscene Episode 17: Up and Coming.
