MAVIS STAPLES, ALLEN TOUSSAINT TO PLAY ZOOTUNES DOUBLE FEATURE
Seattle Times
The pairing of Mavis Staples and Allen Toussaint at the Woodland Park Zoo is a gift for new and old fans of two American musical treasures. Staples turns 70 soon, Allen is 72, and both recently put out recordings that lovers of the blues should savor. Listening to these artists on disc is a treat. But seeing them perform live on the same bill? Priceless. Mavis Staples and Allen Toussaint play today at ZooTunes at the Woodland Park Zoo, at 5 p.m.

Improvised Music Project Fest aims to get the talent at the UW heard
Seattle Times
The music students currently at the University of Washington are too young to remember that Jazz Alley, the glamorous, downtown jazz club, first opened on University Way in the University District in 1979 as a small club and bistro that catered mostly to the local music scene. Jazz Alley left the U-District in 1985, leaving a void that has been slow to refill despite the neighborhood’s proximity to the university and the city’s reputation as a hotbed of jazz education. A small nightclub, Lucid, is the only venue on “The Ave” devoted chiefly to the genre, balancing the needs of a lounge and a stage for serious jazz.
GUIDE TO SUMMER FESTIVALS
Pitchfork
Hey, it’s almost Memorial Day weekend! That means it’s basically officially summer starting right now. And you know what summer means. Summer means it’s time to slather yourself in SPF 30, pile as many of your friends into one car as possible, and elbow your way through armies of like-minded music fans so that you can bat beach balls around while waiting for the Prodigy to take the stage. It’s festival season! Check out the whole list here.
SASQUATCH! COMES TO THE GORGE
Seattle Times
The 2009 Sasquatch! Music Festival is the best music festival in America for three very important reasons: Location, location, and location. The Gorge is America’s most scenic major outdoor venue. Kicking back at the crest of its massive, sloping lawn just to watch the world — cloud convoys hauling across luminous blue skies; the gaping, twisting chasm that is the Columbia River Gorge; hours-long watercolor sunsets — would be worth a few bucks. Complimenting the main stage’s epic scale are a concert-hall-sized second stage and an intimate shedlike stage, both set on lush, grassy lawns. Thanks to clever layout, all three run concurrently, the hillside deflecting any sound bleed. Larger festivals demand a death march between distantly spaced stages, but Sasquatch! is compact and manageable. Even with a sold-out crowd of 22,000, it’s hard to figure out where all the people are (unless you’re in line for the Honey Bucket).
