Coming this Friday, the 19th of February, J&J Music is proud to support the gathering of some of Seattle’s most talented musicians to pay tribute to the music of Ennio Morricone. Inspired by the classic film scores of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, A Fistful of Dollars, Il Mercenario, The Mission, Cinema Paradiso and Inglourious Basterds, this concert will debut 4 original works by local composers. All the arrangements are unique with each composer brilliantly putting his/her own spin on the music. This event is not to be missed!

As the second concert of the Seattle Jazz Composers Ensemble, Jazz Impressions of Ennio Morricone unites musicians from all corners of Seattle’s vibrant music community. It brings together artists who play in symphonies and jazz bands, even a few that perform pop music. There are only so many words that can describe the electrifying result of this collaboration, so to fully understand, come join us in the celebration and listen for your self.
