About Eclectic Jazz

Eclectic Jazz Quartet began as a jazz workshop in University Place. Its members - Peter Adams, Osama Afifi, Brian Smith, and Andrew Sherbrooke - have individually played jazz, Latin, and rock for decades, and have now come together to present a repertoire of modern and traditional jazz, featuring interpretations of standards from the American Songbook, as well as elements of Pat Metheny, Cedar Walton, and more.

About Susan Massey

In 2005, Susan Massey received a Certificate in Drawing from the Gage Academy of Art in Seattle. Massey continued her studies from 2006-07 in the Drawing & Painting Atelier at Gage. Massey is an artist who works exclusively on paper, either in graphite or carbon dust. Her detailed drawings depict a deep interest in the surface and textures of objects found in nature. Massey's work possesses a stillness or quietness that is passed on to the viewer. She teaches drawing and has exhibited throughout the Pacific Northwest. Her work can be viewed on her website: susanmasseyart.com
