KNKX records and produces exclusive Studio Sessions every month with world-class jazz and blues musicians from around the world and the Northwest. We also like to use Studio Sessions as an opportunity to showcase the talented local students participating in our award-winning School of Jazz program.
Studio Sessions typically last around an hour, but the exact program will depend on the artist. You can usually expect about 15-45 minutes of sound check and mingling, followed by 20-30 minutes of recorded studio session time. This consists of 2 to 3 songs followed by an interview from one of our hosts.
We'd love for you to join us for a session in our new Seattle studios next to Pike Place Market. Below you will find more information about each upcoming Studio Session along with a link to register.
Studio Sessions are very popular and are free to attend. Please register for only one per three months so others can enjoy the show!
Sidney Hauser Quartet
Thursday, November 12, 2026 at 1pm
Hosted by Abe Beeson.
Earshot Jazz Festival Resident Artist Sidney Hauser has an artistic voice that combines technical precision with adventurous, fusion-leaning energy. In 2017, Sidney became the first full-time female member of the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, where she now plays lead alto. She has also performed with the Seattle Women’s Jazz Orchestra, the Afro-Latin funk collective The New Triumph, and numerous ensembles throughout the Pacific Northwest. Over the course of her career, Sidney has shared the stage with acclaimed artists including Joshua Redman, Maria Schneider, Christian McBride, Branford Marsalis, Tia Fuller, Ben Wendel, and Anat Cohen. Her new dreampop fusion project, Other Kinds, features Nik Singleton of Midnight High (vocals), Dylan Hayes (keys, synth), Adam Kessler (drums), and Trevor Ford (bass). Dylan and Adam will be joining Sidney in-studio along with bassist Moe Weisner. Sidney's latest album is Whirl. She'll perform on November 19 at Seattle Jazz Fellowship.
