The Avenue B Jazz Quartet was formed from four incredible Jazz Musicians from the Edmonds Woodway High School (EWHS) Jazz I Band.  These 4 local Edmonds student musicians have a special passion for playing Jazz music.  They play a special blend of classical Jazz and several other Jazz genres including fusion and funk.  These 4 have been playing together for four years.  In the EWHS Big Band or as the small Combo "Avenue B",. they have been playing all around the area, including at Egan’s Jazz house in Ballard, Romeo’s, Tully’s, Tula's, Jazz Alley, Triple Door, Club Hollywood and  many more and also play at weddings and other local gigs.  Three of the four members are the remnants from the last EWHS trip to Essentially Ellington in New York in 2009.  These student musicians are clearly remarkable and are competing with the pros at the age of 18.

Please consider hiring them to play at your own local gig.
