Roosevelt Jazz Band at Earshot Jazz Festival 2011
17 October 2011 by ben.
Local area jazz fans were treated to a spectacular Seattle sunset just minutes before Mountlake Terrace took the stage at Seattle’s Town Hall on Friday the 14th of October at the opening performance of the Earshot Jazz Festival. Executive Director John Gilbreath opened the festival with many kind words about the strong jazz traditions in the northwest including both Roosevelt High School and Mountlake Terrace High School, which placed 2nd and 3rd, respectively, in the 2011 Essentially Ellington Jazz Festival in New York City last May.
Both bands treated jazz lovers with a diverse selection of big band arrangements and two World Premier compositions, one by Roosevelt pianist Chris McCarthy and another by Roosevelt lead trombone Andrew Karboski.
