Excitement is Building!

The 12th Annual Jackson Street Jazz Walk is a community event that honors Seattle Central District’s African American music legacy while inspiring the future of Seattle jazz. The Jazz Walk features jazz, blues, soul, and Latin music from 20 bands on nine community stages.
We celebrate and share this legacy with a new generation, collaborating with the Pratt Fine Arts Open House to feature an array of activities and live music from the 18th–30th blocks of S. Jackson.
On Saturday, September 6th the Central Area Senior Center will host two well-known artists: the Nicole Yvette Band from 5pm–6:30pm and guitarist Michael Powers from 7pm–9pm.
Tickets are limited, and we encourage you to purchase in advance.
As a Music for a Cause event under the leadership of Executive Producer, Eugenie Jones, the JSJW also serves the community through a give-back donation to a Central District nonprofit. This year, the recipient will be Byrd Barr Place.
