Earshot Festival preview on Jazz NW

Seattle’s biggest jazz event of the year begins this weekend. The wide-ranging Earshot Jazz Festival runs over three weeks and includes over 50 concerts by international and regional musicians who perform in many combinations and locations.

Earshot Executive Director John Gilbreath joins us for a preview of the Earshot Festival on Jazz Northwest.  We'll sample some of the music by resident and visiting musicians and talk about a few of the artists who'll be performing in Seattle during the Festival.  Complete festival details are at earshot.org.
