Jazz singers walk in the Cellar Door
PORT TOWNSEND — “We Kiss in a Shadow,” “We’ve Got a World that Swings” and Jessie Spicher’s solo “I Just Found out about Love” are a few of the songs to fill the Cellar Door, 940 Water St., on Tuesday night as the Peninsula College Vocal Jazz Ensemble arrives.
Starting time will be
6 p.m. for this all-ages-welcome concert.
It has no cover charge but does have “What a Wonderful World,” Daniel Camper’s solos “Fly Me to the Moon” and “A House Is Not a Home” plus another Spicher solo, “You’ve Changed.”
An eight-part a cappella arrangement of “Send Me on My Way” also beckons jazz lovers to this show, orchestrated by Peninsula College ensemble founder Elaine Gardner-Morales.
A jazz trio — pianist Al Harris, drummer Terry Smith and bass man Ted Enderle — will stir in some instrumental numbers too.
