SEQUIM — The Sequim Library will host Summer Jazz tonight and Aug. 30 on its outdoor stage behind the facility.
In the event of rain or inclement weather, the free concerts will be held indoors at the library, 630 N. Sequim Ave.
Tonight, the Jenny Davis Quartet will feature flugelhornist Dmitri Matheny at 6 p.m.
Davis is a jazz vocalist, composer and arranger who performs throughout the U.S., Europe and Canada.
Davis, a 25-year veteran of straight-ahead jazz, will be joined not only by Matheny, but also jazz pianist George Radebaugh and Seattle area bassist Ted Enderle.
Matheny has been called “one of the most emotionally expressive improvisers of his generation” in the International Review of Music.
At 6 p.m. Aug. 30, jazz pianist Ted Brancato will perform at the library.
Brancato is a musician with four decades of experience in the music business.
Since his early days, growing up in Seattle, Brancato has been performing, composing, arranging and recording music.
He has performed and recorded with Houston Person, Ron Carter, Christian McBride, Milt Jackson, Ernestine Anderson and Paquito D’Rivera.
“I am an unabashed fan of melody, as I think you’ll hear upon listening to any song on my albums. I also love music that moves you, either emotionally or physically, or ideally both. It is my hope that you will find songs here that move you,” he said.
This program is supported by the Friends of Sequim Library.
