The young musicians of Seattle JazzED’s Girls Ellington Project (GEP) are on a mission to increase gender parity in jazz and empower women and non-binary people within the wider jazz community to be seen and heard. They’ve been asking themselves, “Is there another way that we can ‘jam’ or improvise together that is welcoming to gals and our nonbinary pals?”

Enter JAM SESSIONS. With the support of stellar Seattle jazz musicians like Marina Albero, Liana Green, Kate Olson, Haley Freedlund, Kelly Clingan, and Kelsey Mines, GEP will be hosting a Jam Session their way. *The community is invited to join them for an evening of improv and live music on Tuesday, March 15, 6-8pm, at the Royal Room in Columbia City - tickets are free!

This event is free, but seating is limited. Admission is on a first-come-first-served basis. Doors open at 5pm, registration does not guarantee your seat, and the venue is all ages until 10pm.

*Femme instrumentalists and vocalists that wish to jam will be welcome on stage and should bring their own instruments!
