Brood Awakening is a monthly student jazz jam session hosted at The Rabbit Box in Pike Place Market. The series provides a welcoming space for middle school, high school, and college musicians to gain real-world jam session experience with a student house rhythm section and special guest artists from the Seattle jazz community.

The March session features legendary Seattle jazz artist Jay Thomas. Known for his work as a trumpeter, saxophonist, and vocalist, Jay brings decades of experience and mentorship to the bandstand.

Student musicians are invited to bring their instruments and sit in with the house band.

The student house rhythm section features Xavier Colón on piano, Donovon Lewis on drums, and Theo McGaughey on bass.

No cover. All ages welcome.
