A jazz power trio and a soulful Seattle singer are Saturday’s gifts from Space Craft.
duende, the child of longtime collaborators Alex Chadsey (piano/keyboards/compositions), Farko Dosumov (electric bass) and Jeff Bongo Busch (drums & percussion), utilizes the American jazz tradition as a point of departure for daring explorations of rhythm and styles from the Americas, Europe and Africa. Bursting onto the local scene in February 2016, the band has quickly earned a reputation for being innovative, uplifting and accessible to a wide-range of listeners. Their self-titled album is due out early next year.
Scarlet Parke is a dark and seductive vocal powerhouse that blends the blues and pop worlds together seamlessly.
Parke has been performing around Seattle since 2013 and has since been featured as an Artist to Watch on Revolt TV, played top festivals such as Summer Meltdown and Folklife and been getting high praise from critics around the nation. Her debut EP, “Long Night,” was released in November at the Sunset Tavern.
The concert is 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 17 at Rolling Bay Hall, 10598 Northeast Valley Road. Tickets, $12 in advance and $15 at the door, are available at Brown Paper Tickets.
