Concerts & Happenings Calendar ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

• Thur. Sept 19, Seattle: SEAMONSTER LOUNGE 10 PM ! MoSeaMoSee Quartet with Marina, Sheridan, Kate Olson
MoSeaMoSee Quartet with Jessica Lurie and Kate Olson on saxes, flute, electronics

Marina Albero – electric piano and keyboard bass • Sheridan Riley – drums. This version of the MoSeaMoSee Quartet promises to be an aural stunner, an evening full of original funk, jazz and spontaneous compositions, loops and improvisations. This all-woman group of renowned, in-demand Seattle musicians is brought together by saxophonist/flautist Jessica Lurie. Lurie is known for melding lyrical pop, stinging rock, rhythmic Eastern European folk music and improvisation-heavy jazz with a dose of free-wheeling avant-groove-meets-grind. She will be joined by fellow woodwind adventurer Kate Olson also on horns and electronics; the expansive Marina Albero on electric keyboards and piano bass; and holding dpown the grooves will be the versitile Sheridan Riley. A not to be missed evening – Double baritone saxes will be in the house!

NOW AVAILABLE! FACE MASKS FOR MUSICIANS Beautiful and original design to wear while playing your Woodwind and Brass instruments!!

Unhappy with the prospect of not playing live with others and dissatisfied with other mask designs, I designed sturdily built to last, with reinforced seams, bridge, and double upper and lower elastic straps with adjusters for extra support and a perfect fit! Many thanks to Michael Winograd, Dan Blacksberg and my Mom for their help getting this venture off the ground. It’s still evolving but here is my funny promo video! Also if you don’t play horn you can use it for drinking fancy drinks during pandemic cocktail hour! Please feel free to message me with any questions you have! zipamusic@gmail.com.

You can check out mask designs and other handmade items at my ETSY store!
