Review: 2008 KJWZ Smooth Jazz Festival

Logo.lrg3.gifThis past weekend was not only Seafair, it was the 11th Annual KWJZ Smooth Jazz Festival out at the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville. My mom and I attended the festival on Saturday and had a blast.

You can read my full review of the events which included shows by Nils, Marian Meadows, Wayman Tisdale and The Crusaders at my main blog.

Thanks to KWJZ for putting such an awesome event! Although my mom has been to both days several times in past years, this was my first time. And next year, I’m going to both days! If you’re in Seattle and you love good music, you should check it out next year too.

Have you heard about the 10 grands?

I love jazz music and listen to our local KWJZ station here in Seattle. I heard over the weekend that this year the 10 Grands concert is coming to Benaroya Hall on May 17th.

If you haven’t heard of the 10 Grands, it’s a concert featuring 10 grand pianos played by well known musicians like David Lanz (one of my favorites), Deems Tsutakawa (a local artist), Tom Grant and several others. There’s even a meet and greet before the show and tickets for the whole thing are $75 including the meet/greet through KWJZ’s special pricing. I think I’m going to surprise my mom with tickets for Mother’s Day. She’d love that!

Concerts are always fun things to do in Seattle!
