Seattle Center Celebrates International Day of Jazz with Lunchtime Concert Today

Seattle Center, in conjunction with Jazz In The City Concert Series, celebrates the 2014 United Nations International Day of Jazz with a special tribute to Seattle's own jazz ambassador, Ernestine Anderson.

This free lunchtime concert, 12 p.m., today, April 30, in Seattle Center Armory, features some of Seattle's finest jazz artists: Debbie Cavitt, Tess Guerzon and pianist Deems Tsutakawa and his band.

International Day of Jazz, which highlights the diplomatic role of the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization in uniting people in all corners of the globe through jazz, concludes Jazz Appreciation Month honoring the music that America gave to the world.

The community is encouraged to attend this mid-day musical respite. Bring a lunch or purchase from Armory eateries, featuring freshly prepared foods of the Northwest. More information is available at: www.SeattleCenter.com or 206-684-7200.
