On Monday, May 31st, Lucid Jazz Lounge presents the first “Inside/Out Jazz Awards” at Benaroya Hall’s Mark Tapper Auditorium.

The I/O Awards night will honor musicians for being influential in the jazz community with hand-scultpted bronze awards. Awards will range from the more common ‘Outstanding Instrumentals’ and ‘Outstanding Album’ to categories that are more unique and personalized.

100% of this year’s show proceeds will be used toward the rebuilding work in Haiti supportinghttp://www.strengththroughunity.org/

The event will also include numerous performances from Seattle musicians and performing artists. Such performances as a reprise of Evan Flory-Barnes’ Earshot Award winning “Acknowledgment of a Celebration”, a Miles Davis Tribute, LUCID Live Records’ first recording group the Reservoir Cats, Seattle jazz legends and upcoming artists alike. This eclectic, energetic night gaurantees a sold out night.

Additionally, a very special ‘Hang’ jam session will be hosted by The Teaching in the lobby of Benaroya after the Awards Show. The Teaching has become LUCID’s house band every Thursday night for the past year bringing the community together for The Hang. The Teaching also happens to be the rhythm section of The Reservoir Cats featured on stage that evening.
