12/10, Sunday, 2pm. My second time attending
Jazz in the City at Frye Art Museum.
Another excellent treat.
Instead of the advertised
Josephine Howell today, it's her "family band".
3 vocalists: Her son and daughter (Chyee' Howell), her sister (? Josephine Carson).
The instrumentalists: Medearis Dixson on saxophone, Christopher Patin on drums, Darrius Willrich (?) on piano, Alex Dyring on bass.
They are all very good. Real proffessional musicians.
I especially like the saxophone, the percussionist and Josephine's singing.
The saxophone player was sweating, but kept his overcoat on. Not sure why.
They were having fun on stage.
This is a free (but sold-out) concert.
Only ~60% full. After the intermission, maybe only 40%. At least, no crying toddlers. I saw at least 1 toddler.
This concert series is partially sponsored by
Murano senior living.
After the concert, we were invited to Murano next door (same as last time) for a reception.
Today, we were led to the 24th floor sky lounge. Nice view.
I chatted with the ladies sitting at the same table. One couple just moved here, to be closer to the kids.
Odd, always ladies talk. Men don't like chatting much.
Later, ran into the lady from Malaysia I met in Feb. She and her husband just returned from a pop concert at Seattle Symphony.
I moved to sit at her table.
She was telling me stories of her dad (3 wives, timber land in Borneo) and her children (4). Her husband got bored, and left soon.
She's definitely enjoying her life in this building.
