Greta Matassa on the St Mark stage

Plan to spend the evening of August 14th at the popular North City Jazz Walk. Returning for the 6th year, this annual event is a must do for Shoreline jazz lovers. 

Stroll along 15th Avenue NE to enjoy great live jazz at one great venue after another between 7 – 10 pm. This year, come early and enjoy “Jazz Bites” delicious food items specifically provided for the event. 

The 2012 line-up of 10 eclectic groups offers a close-up experience with some of the area’s best jazz players.

Iconic jazz vocalist Greta Matassa headlines the North City Jazz Walk with the dynamic Critical Mass Big Band at St. Mark Church.

Voted four times the best jazz vocalist in the Northwest by Earshot Jazz, Greta’s remarkable range and interpretation of the American Song Book reveal a deep understanding of vocal jazz. Anderson House, a North City icon in its own right, is the proud sponsor of the St. Mark stage.

Advanced tickets for $12 are on sale now. Capacity at indoor venues is limited so buy tickets early at designated locations or online. Tickets will be available at the event for $15. Parking is plentiful and free. Here is a map of the venues, artist profiles, parking, and Jazz Bite offerings. 

The North City Jazz Walk is produced by the North City Business Association (NCBA) in partnership with the City of Shoreline, the Shoreline/Lake Forest Park Arts Council and by generous in-kind contributions from the Journal Magazine and CleanScapes.

The Jazz Walk is staged on 15th NE in North City, between NE 175th and NE 180th.
