This Friday, the first rendition of the SLU summer concert series at 2200 kicks off at 11:45 A.M. with the Cornish Jazz Faculty Group.
As major fixtures in the Northwest jazz scene and educators at Cornish College for 25 years, bassist Chuck Deardorf & guitarist/composer Dave Peterson were central influences on many of the rising talents in creative jazz today including Brad Shepik and Briggan Krauss. Drawing from their many years of touring and recording with artists like Kenny Barron, Art Lande, Bob Moses, Paul Motian, and dozens of others, they co-lead this alternately reflective and fiery quartet along with drummer John Bishop and saxophonist Hans Teuber.
The Cornish Jazz Faculty Group will perform two 45-minute sets beginning at 11:45 A.M. this Friday, July 17 on the upper plaza at 2200 (corner of Westlake Ave. and Denny Way, above Whole Foods Market).
