At
its core, Jazz Port Townsend is a weeklong
workshop where people from all over the world come to live and learn
with some of the finest jazz musicians playing today.
Starting on Thursday, and running through Sunday, we hit the lights and the renowned artist/faculty
take to the stage for mainstage performances in Fort Worden State
Park’s WWI-era McCurdy Pavilion, and for club performances in Port
Townsend’s historic downtown and uptown districts.
