Passing the jazz torch in Seattle, one jam session at a time

Seattle boasts a wealth of young jazz talent. High schools like Bothell, Garfield, and Roosevelt are regular finalists in national competitions. But the journey from a local school band to the big stage can be long and difficult. One local organization, the Seattle Jazz Fellowship (https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/) is looking to change that. We get more from Soundside (https://www.kuow.org/stories/jazz-has...) producer (and musician) Alec Cowan (https://www.kuow.org/authors/alec-cowan) .
