The Jazz Voyager
In the air once more leaving Philadelphia on my way back to the Emerald City on the West Coast to see a Philly born bassist I have seen perform since the Seventies. It will take place in a little spot called Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley in downtown Seattle, Washington at the corner of 6th and Lenora. The intimate atmosphere sets everyone no more than fifty feet from the stage and I’m looking forward to some calamari and gelato.
So one of my favorite bassists is NEA Jazz Master, four-time Grammy winner and living legend Stanley Clarke will be on stage tonight. He is a virtuoso on both acoustic and electric bass and the first jazz-fusion bassist ever to headline tours. Co-founder of the seminal fusion group Return to Forever with Chick Corea and Lenny White, in 2012 Return to Forever won a Grammy Award and Latin Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Forever.
The downtown location is at 2033 6th Avenue, 98121. Reservations are recommended. For more information go to https://notoriousjazz.com/event/stanley-clarke.
