As it turns out, the return of Jazz at Five to its traditional home at the top of State Street was short-lived. However, this time the summer concert series is moving just a couple blocks counterclockwise on the Square, to the South Hamilton Street corner. Concerts begin with a youth band at 4 p.m. (on Aug. 14, a tribute ensemble to Richard Davis), followed by John Christensen Quartet and Heirloom, Aug. 14; Jazz Flux and the Kal Bergendahl Project, Aug. 21; UW Faculty Jazz Band and Jazz All Stars, Aug. 28; and the DB Orchestra and All That Jazz Big Band, Sept. 4. Find more info at jazzatfive.org.

Jazz at Five series, 4-8 pm Wednesdays, 8/7-9/4, Capitol Square-South Hamilton. Free.

media release: Jazz at Five’s Summer Performance Series is moving to the Capitol Grounds!  After talking with the city and construction team for the new History Center, Jazz at Five has decided that it would be best for us to find a new downtown location while trying to stay as close to our original site as possible.

The 2024 Jazz at Five Performance Series will be on the South Hamilton side of the Capitol Square. Experience the magic of live music against the backdrop of our beautiful Capitol. From young talents to seasoned local acts, our lineup promises something for everyone.

Food, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages vendors will be on-site, so come hungry and thirsty! Feel free to bring a picnic blanket and settle in on the Capitol Grounds for a relaxing evening downtown.
