The Pacific Jazz Institute at Dimitriou’s Jazz
Alley presents pianist Marc Seales with special guest vocalist Rochelle House
for one night only. Both artists are celebrating the release of new CD’s.
Appearing at Jazz Alley for one night in support of his latest CD, The
Paris Suite, Marc Seales, a Professor at the University
of Washington, is well known in the Puget Sound area for his many appearances in jazz venues.
He has played with nearly every visiting jazz celebrity from Joe Henderson and
Art Pepper to Benny Carter, Mark Murphy, and Bobby Hutcherson. With Don
Lanphere he performed in such places as London, England; Kobe, Japan; The Hague
in the Netherlands; and the North Sea Jazz Festival. “Playing with all those
guys was like going to school for me,” says Seales.
Rochelle House's latest CD entitled Water, is being rel eased on
March 30th at Jazz Alley. This CD is her second collaboration with Marc Seales
and also features Seattle
jazz musicians D’Vonne Lewis, Evan Flory-Barnes.
Rochelle House is a vocalist who understands, in a deep, lived sense,
what she is singing about, and has the talents and tools to express it. Her
debut disc Dreams of Love earned her a nomination for Earshot’s Golden
Ear awards, in the vocalist of the year category. She demonstrates on Water that
her debut was no fluke. Four of the nine compositions are originals, while the
remainder of the selections really ARE selections: chosen for their sympathetic
reinforcement of the album’s moods and pacing, as well as House’s own singular
expressive talents.
