Japanese artist Asayo Katano to make Seattle debut at “International Women in Jazz” Concert

Women jazz artists representing music from around the world, including Japanese artist Asayo Katano in a special Seattle premiere performance, will take the stage in “International Women in Jazz,” a special event co-presented by the Seattle-Kobe Sister City Association and Seattle Women in Jazz, at Seattle’s Royal Room at 2:00 pm on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025.

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported the Seattle-Kobe sister city relationship over the years, enabling us to connect through music,” said Katano, winner of the 2025 Kobe Shinkaichi Jazz Vocal Queen Contest in Kobe, Japan. Katano will be accompanied by local artists David Joyner (piano), Clipper Anderson (bass), and Mark Ivester (drums).

Deseo Carmin (a band led by Stella Rossi that features a fiery fusion of Latin rhythms, soulful Jazz-Funk grooves, and the passionate spirit of Flamenco) and award-winning Jewish music composer Chava Mirel (a celebrated jazz and world music artist), both Seattle-based groups, will also perform.

“International Women in Jazz” will take place Nov. 15, 2025 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at The Royal Room, 5000 Rainier Ave, Seattle. Doors open at 1:00 pm. Admission is free. Limited Seating.
