There is something now iconic about Jazz Alley in Seattle because the tradition of great music and ever expanding music types has permeated the walls of the institution. Jazz greats, jazz amateurs, and those who make a living playing music people like....There is a balcony area of seats with a rail to see the performers from above the floor crowd. I prefer the balcony. I never have a press pass, I always pay and this blog is started to document the many shows and talent I have seen. I hope it inspires other to see live music because it has no real script, strange things happen, beautiful mistakes are made and life goes on.
Two-time GRAMMY nominee Mindi Abair has made her mark as one of the most recognizable saxophonists in the US. You may know her as the saxophonist on American Idol, or the only saxophonist to tour with rock legends Aerosmith since 1973. You may have seen her on stage with Bruce Springsteen for a historic night at the Beacon Theater, or tuned in as she joined Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra on the Late Show with David Letterman, sat in with The Roots on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, caught her recent appearances at The Grand Ole Opry, or recognized her as Al Pacino’s sax player in the movie Danny Collins.
