The Earshot Jazz Festival started a couple of days ago and I am already falling behind. I will attempt to catch up over the next few days and provide pictures from as many performances as I can. Tonight I will begin here with the incomparable Eric Vloeimans and his group Gatecrash. they put on an amazing and mesmerizing performance at The Seattle Art Museum.

The stellar Dutch trumpeter’s Gatecrash chain-links lazy lounge, hard-core beats, spaced-out moods, and Zappaesque meters, with soundscapist Jeroen van Vliet, Gulli Gudmundsson on bass and effects, and emerging drum star Jasper van Hulten. For more information on the Earshot Jazz Festival Schedule check out their website.

Playing at the Asian Art Museum Friday night was the very cool group of  Amsterdam’s top improvisers the Ab Baars Trio, playing with Chicago’s MacArthur-winning sax titan Ken Vandermark.

This show was one  in the series of concerts that Earshot Jazz Presents in its annual Spring Series. There are four unique concert events in April featuring many of the U.S. and Northern Europe’s most gifted and adventurous musicians.

Here are some individual shots of the group.
