Anything happening in Seattle?

[jazzmessenger]

I will be in Seattle between September 30 and October 5. Are there any good jazz concerts while I am there? Good local jazz clubs?

30th thru 3rd is scofield trio w/ bill stewart at the jazz alley

[wolff]

You'll just miss Christian McBride(sold out anyway).

Here is good calendar.

The Djangofest on Whidbey Island(nice 1.5 hour drive) would be a good bet for Sat/Sun.

Tula's Oct calendar is not up yet.

I just saw this group at Indy Jazz Fest in July. So, I will pass this time.

I would love to see Christian McBride some day. I kind of feel some connection with him as he and I share the birhtday (in same year). I guess I have to wait for the next opportunity...

Django Fest sounds interesting, but I don't think I can drive that far during the meeting.

Thanks for the nice calendar!

Are there any good used CD stores in or near downtown?

[alejo]

There are a few good shops close to Downtown in the Capitol Hill Neighborhood

Everyday Music

Address: 112 Broadway E

Tele: (206) 568-3321

They have a pretty big selection of both new and used Jazz CDs and some Jazz LPs.

CD or Disc Connection

Address: Across the street from Everyday Music

They Have a respectable used Jazz CD selection.

Wall of Sound

Address: 315 E Pine St, Seattle

If you’re into more free/creative/experimental music this is the store for you. They sell both new and used CDs and LPs. I recommend checking this place out.

Bud's Jazz Records

Address: 102 S. Jackson St.

Located in a basement on Jackson off of 1st Ave in the Pioneer Square area. Worth checking out, vinyl is a bit overpriced.

Check out Elliot Bay Books while you're down there.

Send me a PM or e-mail if you need any more information.

Thanks for the information, Alejandro! I really love digging into used CD bins and finding some OOP CDs. I wish I could still do that in Indianapolis... I am lookiing forward to my trip to Seattle!

Be sure to check the websites for Tulas, the Triple Door, and All About Jazz/Seattle in addition to the Jazz Alley site..

Buds records in Pioneer Square is a must see place!

the food @ Tulas is pretty good ..the food @ the Wild Ginger ( above the Triple Door ) is wonderful! ( if you like Thai /Pan-Oriental stuff )

A friend of mine owns a real good CD store on Broadway in Capitol Hill (real close to downtown). He also carrys some vinyl.

Playback Music

111 Broadway East

Seattle, WA

Ask for Brad and tell him Shawn sent ya....

Looks like I have many good places to visit in Seattle. I can't wait to go there. Less than two weeks!!!

Well, I am finally leaving for Seattle tomorrow. I am planning to visit these two stores (also Playback Music that Shawn recommended). Is there any public transportation to that area from downtown?

[jazzmessenger]

BTW, does anyone here have two extra tickets to the Mariners game on Saturday night? I want to see my countryman Ichiro while I am in Seattle.

[alejo]

The 43 is probably your best best to Cap Hill from Downtown.

Here is a list of a few other routes that service that neighborhood:

Seattle Metro Cap Hill Routes

I forgot to mention a few other shops worth checking out in the lower Queen Anne Neighborhood.

Easy Street Records and another CD Exchange type shop.

I think Easy Street currently has their RVGs on sale for $7.99 as well as a pretty good jazz selection. To get their, take the 18 or 15 from 1st Ave heading North towards Ballard. It's a nice walk back to Downtown through the Belltown neighborhood--about a mile or so.

Friday might be your best bet for Mariners tickets.

Drop me an e-mail if you need any more info.

Have a great time!

Alejandro,

Thanks for the transportation info!!! I am looking forward to seeing Seattle tomorrow!

Dimitriou's Jazz Alley, 2033 6th Avenue, Seattle WA 98121

Phone (206) 441-9729 | Fax (206) 443-8247 is a pretty cool place to check out!

I'm new to the area (from Chicago) and have to check it out but I heard that it is a really nice place; my friend saw Tower of Power there.

Jazz Alley is very nice and features mainly name acts ..and is also quite pricey.

For good local stuff, check out Tulas on 2nd Ave and the Triple Door on University and 3rd ..

both have websites that show whos playing and good food as well ..

[jazzmessenger]

I didn't have as much free time as I expected while I was there (for a scientific meeting), but I managed to pick up a few CDs in Capitol Hill. I really loved the city. Great food and lots of nice stores. I would love to go back there soon.
