Locöl Barley and Vine (7902 35th s.w.) played host to three noteworthy jazz players on Friday Dec. 9 in a late night show.
Grammy Award winning musician Clark Sommers {bass} who has played on multiple recordings with Kurt Elling, Kobie Watkins{drums} plays with Sonny Rollins and Chad McCullough {trumpet} who is a local West Seattle player. All these musicians regularly tour the world and McCullough himself is off on tour to Slovakia and the Czech Republic, Belgium and France next month.
This impromptu trio was assembled by McCullough who has played with them before but never in a trio and they worked their way through some original compositions, and some jazz standards including work by Miles Davis.
Owner Kyle Duce said he was "blown away by how good these guys are. I've never seen anybody play bass like that before."
