Sidney Hauser Quintet at Seattle Jazz Fellowship

Saxophonist Sidney Hauser is an artist of multiple dimensions, known for her design and visual art as much as her role as a rising star alto saxophonist on the Seattle scene.

Saxophonist Sidney Hauser is an artist of multiple dimensions, known for her design and visual art as much as her role as a rising star alto saxophonist on the Seattle scene. She became a historic footnote in the history of the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra as the first full time female member. It is on that stage where Hauser has truly acquired visibility into her skills as an alto saxophonist, in the process receiving the opportunity to perform with major out of town guests. Her time spent with SRJO veterans has provided her mentorship as well, while she explored balance in her artistic world.

Hauser makes her debut as a leader at SJF with a quintet that includes SRJO bandmate Milo Petersen on guitar. Eclectic electric bass master Farko Dosumov, trumpeter Ray Larson, and drummer Adam Kessler round out the band. Hauser will be performing original tunes, as well as interpretations of standards both classic and obscure. The altoist has a classic alto sound, and a penchant for melodic interpretation. She has not played a lot of jazz gigs outside of SRJO in recent times, so this is a good opportunity to see her perform with a notable group of Seattle musicians in a room dedicated to jazz, with an audience looking for the same. https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
