Seattle Jazz Fellowship: A New Age In A New Space

Read "Seattle Jazz Fellowship: A New Age In A New Space" reviewed by Paul Rauch


The Seattle Jazz Fellowship, a 501(c)(3) non-profit supporting jazz and jazz culture primarily at the local level, came to life in a backroom bar in the city's arts district on Capitol Hill in October 2021.

Artists and audiences alike were eager, yet cautious, in their actions to return to some form of normalcy. Vermillion, a community-oriented art space ...

Kiki Valera: Vacilón Santiaguero

Read "Vacilón Santiaguero" reviewed by Richard J Salvucci


In Cuban Spanish (and, for sure, there is no generic Spanish in Latin America), vacilón means, well, one hell of a good time. And that is what you can expect from this punchy collection, a great time a la Santiago de Cuba, the capital of one of Cuba's southeastern provinces.

Kiki Valera: Vacilón Santiaguero

Read "Vacilón Santiaguero" reviewed by Paul Rauch


Son Cubano, the music and dance from the hill country of eastern Cuba, may be a mystery to some readers of these pages. Though the form is rooted in both Spanish and Bantu traditions, its modern day practitioners, embodied and popularized by the music of Buena Vista Social Club, have broadened the music's view. In the United States, particularly in this case, the Pacific Northwest, there are pockets of enthusiasm for Latin music of all sorts. Yet upon attending a ...
