Uncommon Grounds
The ground bass, or repeating bass-line pattern, has given us everything from the Pachelbel Canon to boogie-woogie. We’ll sample some of the best ciacconas, passacaglias, and other ground-bass pieces from the 1600s--including the Canon! And in the spirit of improvisation, we’ve invited the Susan Pascal Jazz Quartet to make a guest appearance. Susan Pascal, Chuck Deardorf, Mark Ivester and Randy Halberstadt are four of the hottest names on Seattle’s jazz scene today. What happens when a rhythm section joins a continuo band? Find out with us!
