As it turns out, Jazz at Five’s return to its traditional home at the top of State Street was short-lived. This time, however, the summer concert series is moving just a few blocks counterclockwise on the Square, to the corner of South Hamilton Street. Concerts begin at 4 p.m. with a youth band (a tribute ensemble to Richard Davis on August 14), followed by John Christensen Quartet and Heirloom on August 14; Jazz Flux and the Kal Bergendahl Project on August 21; UW Faculty Jazz Band and Jazz All Stars on August 28; and the DB Orchestra and All That Jazz Big Band on September 4. For more information, visit jazzatfive.org.
Jazz at Five series, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesdays, August 7–September 4, Capitol Square-South Hamilton. Admission free.
Press Release: Jazz at Five’s Summer Performance Series is moving to the Capitol Grounds! After discussions with the City and the construction team for the new History Center, Jazz at Five has decided that it would be best for us to find a new location downtown while staying as close to our original location as possible.
The 2024 Jazz at Five Performance Series will take place on the South Hamilton side of Capitol Square. Experience the magic of live music against the backdrop of our beautiful Capitol. From young talent to experienced local acts, our lineup promises something for everyone.
There will be food, beer, wine and soft drink vendors on site, so come hungry and thirsty! Feel free to bring a picnic blanket and settle down on the Capitol Grounds for a relaxing evening downtown.
