The Jazz Voyager

The Jazz Voyager is crisscrossing the country once again and this week is heading to the Emerald City for this week’s destination. The club I will be relishing to the sounds of jazz is Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley, and it is located in downtown Seattle, kitty corner to the Amazon Spheres where 40,00 plants from over thirty countries are housed.  The atmosphere within this small venue is a cozy bi-level 350 seats that puts me between five to 50 fifty feet from the stage.

This evening of music entertainment is with Madeleine Peyroux, who spent her teenage years busking the busy streets of Paris, France. Befriending the city’s street musicians she made its Latin quarter her first performing stage. Years later in 1996, her breakthrough album Dreamland sold a striking 200,000 copies and Madeleine’s dusky voice was likened to that of jazz greats Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald.

The venue is located at the corner of Lenora Street at 2033 6th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98121. For those who want more info go to https://notoriousjazz.com/event/madeleine-peyroux-2.
