Greta Matassa and Critical Mass headline the North City Jazz Walk

Greta Matassa headlines Jazz Walk

Two great sounds that sound great together! Greta Matassa and the 18 piece Critical Mass will be featured on the Shoreline Lake Forest Park showmobile, sponsored by Olson Chevrolet, at this year’s North City Jazz Walk on Tuesday, August 11 in Shoreline.  

Greta Matassa, four times voted “The Best Jazz Vocalist In The Northwest” by Earshot Jazz, is a crowd favorite. Her remarkable range and interpretation of the American songbook reveals a deep understanding of vocal jazz that is not to be missed.
