Best way to go through football withdrawal this weekend: Stay busy. Our calendar has many possibilities, including this fab FREE concert on Saturday night: The 5th annual Soul Jambalaya music extravaganza, featuring, again this year, not only student jazz musicians from Denny International Middle School and Chief Sealth International High School directed by Marcus Pimpleton, but also guests including Total Experience Gospel Choir, Septimus, and Westside Blues. It’s an exceptional night of music in multiple genres including jazz, gospel, funk, and blues, 7 pm Saturday in the Sealth Auditorium (2600 SW Thistle); donations accepted to support student music programs.
