Scree-Run Waltz: Celebrating Wally Shoup (1944-2024)
An evening of concise, heartfelt sets by a multi-generational cohort of Wally’s closest associates. Participants of various groupings include Dave Abramson, Casey Adams, Eric Amrine, Gust Burns, Arrington de Dionyso, Amy Denio, Jack Gold-Molina, Geoff Harper, Simon Henneman, Bill Horist, Gregg Keplinger, Mark Ostrowski, Dennis Rea, Bob Rees, Carmen Rothwell, Charley Rowan, Tom Scully, John Seman, Jefferey Taylor, Neil Welch, and Jacob Zimmerman.
Influential saxophonist, bandleader, painter, and writer Wally Shoup was a leading advocate of free improvisation in both life and music and a mentor by example to scores of musicians spanning generations in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Over a long and productive career distinguished by grassroots organizing and collaborations with an international cast of notables, the Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame honoree left a rich legacy of passionate in-the-moment playing, wry humor, and acute observations on music and the human condition.
Proceeds will be donated to Wally’s partner. His final recorded works will be available for purchase at the event.
