Join us on September 30th at 7:30 pm as we get a sound perspective of Jazz Alley with veteran house audio engineer, Ted Wright!

Get a behind the scenes look at the recent audio upgrades at Jazz Alley including, dual Yamaha CL5 consoles, Symetrix system control and processing, and Lab Gruppen amplifiers, all connected through Dante. This biggest change came with the replacement of the line array speakers, with high power full range speakers with FIR filter control. The new speaker system was provided by local manufacturer McCauley and the results are fantastic.

Ted will give us a breakdown of the equipment and its use and discuss the challenges of mixing loud bands in small rooms, getting a quick and effective sound check done, and integrating artist equipment into your house system. He will also discuss his acoustic piano micing techniques and strategies. Ted is eager to share his 30+ years of experience in live audio and will be ready to take your questions. Jazz Alley is a fixture of the Seattle live music and dining scene, family owned and operated since 1980.

For over four decades, Dimitriou's Jazz Alley has been a West Coast 'must' for all the towering figures in the world of jazz - stars such as Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson, Betty Carter, Eartha Kitt, Dave Brubeck and McCoy Tyner have all played there.

Video Tour

The nightclub first opened its doors in 1980 in Seattle's University District. An intimate bistro setting, it attracted a diverse clientele. Equally popular among college students and die-hard jazz aficionados, you could always find an exciting mixture of personalities and performers. Six years later Jazz Alley relocated to the larger and more accessible club downtown at 6th and Lenora, where we will be meeting; the perfect venue for introducing new fans to world class jazz music while still offering the exuberant atmosphere of the old establishment.

"A world class jazz club where music and food, musicians and audience garner equal respect" (The Seattle Times)

In 2016, DownBeat Magazine voted Jazz Alley as one of the top 100 jazz clubs in the world. Voted "Best Jazz Club" by the Seattle Weekly and voted Best Jazz Club via King 5's Best of Western Washington poll 8 years running.
