Presented by Seattle Improvised Music and Nonsequitur.

The longest running improvised music festival in North America celebrates its 28th year, presenting a series of four concerts over three days. This year, festival organizers Gust Burns, Paul Hoskin, and Greg Campbell have made a concerted effort to broaden the Seattle aspect of the festival, bringing together a gamut of Northwest luminaries to meet up with three remarkable visiting musicians: LaDonna Smith (violin, viola, voice) from Birmingham, Alabama; Tucker Dulin (trombone) from Brooklyn via South Carolina; and Craig Taborn (piano) from NYC via Minneapolis and Ann Arbor.
