Thanks for listening to and supporting the KNKX modern jazz show The New Cool for seven great years!

Guitarist Ari Joshua, saxophonist Skerik, organist Delvon Lamarr and drummer Grant Schroff release the first of three singles in the months ahead.

One of Seattle's biggest names in modern jazz, Skerik leads an extra big band at Nectar Lounge in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood on Friday.

Holiday grooves and modern jazz favorites populate this week's show, the final one before Christmas. Host Abe Beeson also looks at a few last concerts in 2022 and some exciting upcoming performances in the first weeks of the new year.

Top modern jazz musicians, vibraphonist Joel Ross and the drums-keyboards team Amendola Vs. Blades are both performing in Seattle soon.

Keyboardist and composer Robert Walter released several individual songs with different musician friends during the pandemic quarantine. His new album, Better Feathers, collects them all.
