Seattle Times
Now in its sixth season, the five-day festival has grown, but not to enormous size. It starts Wednesday April 21st at the Sunset Tavern with the first of two themed nights of music, the Brotherhood of the Drum, at least three sets and three different groups led by drummers. The festival’s Friday-night jazz walk features 19 groups performing in 12 venues on or around Ballard Avenue. The festival ends April 26th with a Swedish-pancake jazz brunch. Most of the musicians scheduled to perform are top-shelf, local musicians.
