We are honored to join a lineup of the nation's top jazz musicians at the 37th annual DeMiero Jazz Festival, March 6-8 in Edmonds, Washington! This storied and one-of-a-kind festival is the result of the passion, generosity and lifetime com...mitment of Frank DeMiero, who has dedicated himself to promoting, sharing, and teaching our shared special craft, the art of vocal jazz, to students of all ages. We are looking forward to working with and performing for students from near and far, as we present performances and master classes for our fellow vocal jazz ensembles (including original songwriting and arranging for vocal jazz ensembles). Seattle-ites -- hope to see you at The Festival! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Demiero-Jazz-Fest/721111927923089Meer weergeven

Nice review of our show at Blues Alley and acknowledgment of jazz as a vital art form. Thank you to all who support the arts. Good for Richie -- he is an enduring talent worthy of this kind of press. Glad to see a affirmation that together ...we can out-play, out-sing, and out-appreciate the waste that dominates the pop media nowadays. Big things are coming out of the Cole-UVJQ alliance, so keep watching for announcements! http://www.zimbio.com/Jazz/articles/_ht1qaDXnBT/Richie+Cole+Bebop+Hotter+PopMeer weergeven
