The 2009 season consists of the following major projects:  

 The Art of Jazz

This concert series takes place at 4:00 pm, on the last Sunday of each month, January through November at the American Museum of Radio and Electricity, 1312 Bay Street, Bellingham (11 shows), featuring trio, quartet, and quintet performances by Northwest Regional players from Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, and beyond. The Art of Jazz Series is underwritten by the City of Bellingham Municipal Arts Commission and The Washington State Arts Commission. July's Art of Jazz concert is the 7th annual Invitational Jazz Jam.  Everyone who has ever performed for The Jazz Project is welcome to play.  The house trio will be Blake Angelos piano, Chuck Kistler bass, and Jud Sherwood on the drums.  Jam starts 4:00 pm at the American Museum of Radio & Electricity.    Admission to the Art of Jazz is free for Jazz Project members and $15 for non-members at the door.  Tickets for any future Art of Jazz concert may be purchased online through this website by going to the Jazz Project Store in the right hand corner of this page and clicking Jazz Project Tickets, then adding Art of Jazz Tickets to your shopping cart.  This is the only way to reserve a seat.  Tickets are available at the door on a space available basis.   Discounts are available for purchases of 5 or more Art of Jazz tickets.  

Tuesday Night Boundary Bay Jazz Jam:

Hosted  by The Jazz Project

Join Jud Sherwood of The Jazz Project for Bellingham's only jazz jam session, 8:30-11:30 on Tuesday in the taproom at Boundary Bay.  A rotating cast of house trios will be on hand to lead their own groups and back up players who want to sit in.  For a list of who's playing go to the calendar on the sidebar.   Jennifer Scott returns to Boundary Bay on July 7th, followed by Brian Cunningham/Christopher Woitach quartet on the 14th, John Stowell trio on the 21st and the Jud Sherwood Trio on the 28th of July.  In August watch for the Cheryl Hodge Quartet, Julian MacDonough and friends, Brian Kent trio, and Jennifer Scott.

Looking at Jazz, Part 3

Watch for next year's film and concert series.  

Underwriting projects and program services include the Bellingham Youth Jazz Band, the Medical Fund, the Scholarship Lesson Fund and the Piano Liberation Organization which has placed 75 pianos and is looking forward to receiving piano and instrument donations to pass on to children and families in need.  

Funding for these programs comes primarily from members like you. For the past ten  concert seasons member donations have provided the lion's share of the annual budget, while corporate, foundation, and arts grants provide the balance of our funding needs. With that in mind, I encourage you to look over our exciting mix of jazz projects for 2009 and invest in making jazz accessible and affordable to all. You may order tickets and make donations on-line through the Jazz Project Store link.

Thank you for supporting live music and living musicians.
