Where's Fred? Heading back to Seattle's Jazz Alley

For the third year in a row, Fred and band are taking their unique jazz and funk experience to Dimitriou's Jazz Alley in Seattle. Celebrating 43 years of bringing the best in jazz, blues and world music to the Pacific Northwest, Jazz Alley is one of the band's favorite places to play. Click here for tickets.

Also while in Seattle the band will record a studio session at the NPR station KNKX-FM. 


The return to Seattle follows fun shows at Dazzle Denver, where Fred reunited with old friends including his band's former trumpeter Hugh Ragins and master saxophonist Gerald Albright; Santa Cruz, where they played the beautiful, 50-year-old Kuumbwa Jazz Center and Fred visited with drummer friend Jim Payne; Los Angeles, and Napa.
