Two talented local high school jazz bands take on music from the outer edges. Garfield High School, directed by Jared Sessink, will play music from Sun Ra’s swinging, akilter big band music, and other charts, and Lincoln High School directed by Zachariah MacIntyre and assisted by startling saxophonist Neil Welch, will play music from Wayne Shorter and Carla Bley. Joining them as a guest artist is keyboard master Wayne Horvitz who has played a key role in sparking radical departures from traditional Basie/Ellington fare among high school jazz bands, expanding horizons for the next generation of Seattle jazz.
