Classic jazz, Dixieland, ragtime, Chicago and New Orleans jazz, West Coast revival, San Francisco style, Nicksieland or whatever you call it, that's what this is all about. The Puget Sound Traditional Jazz Society, now with over a thousand members, has not lost sight of its original purpose - the pleasure of jazz performance. Every month several hundred Puget Sound area residents gather to enjoy a concert of traditional jazz music played by internationally known stars, local bands or bands playing as a unit for the first time in exciting jam sessions. Occasionally, featured soloists entertain us with ragtime creations.
The non-profit, tax exempt Puget Sound Traditional Jazz Society began in 1975 with informal meetings of a group of enthusiasts who hungered for an opportunity to hear music with its roots in New Orleans style tunes and instrumentations. The first concerts were successes and so the form has been endorsed and expanded. The concerts, mostly Sunday afternoons, are informal and enjoyable. Your membership pays most of your admission and also provides JAZZ SOUNDINGS - our monthly magazine. Meetings are musical; we have fifteen minutes of business with five hours of music. Families are welcomed and in most instances children are permitted.
