PORT TOWNSEND — Pianist-composer Scott Cossu, along with John Croarkin and Tom Svornich, will arrive at the Cellar Door, 940 Water St., for a night of jazz, New Age and beyond Saturday night.
The cover charge for the 8 p.m. show will be $10, and since the Cellar Door takes no reservations, “plan on coming early,” said Svornich.
Cossu saw international fame as a New Age artist for the Windham Hill record label back in the 1980s, as Billboard hailed him as “a jazz luminary of the future.”
Since then he has put out more than a dozen CDs on various record labels, and continued spreading his music across the world. His current repertoire involves a blend of New Age, jazz, classical, and ethnic styles.
Croarkin, Cossu’s longtime associate, plays flute, saxophone and harmonica, while Svornich, a local player, handles the drums.
Cossu lives in Olympia while teaching, performing and recording throughout the Northwest.

‘Dilemma’ ending

Her deceased companion, portrayed by Tom Darter, gives her some advice — which leads to a variety of comic and dramatic developments.
