VIDEO: West Seattle Big Band delights Admiral Church crowd with Christmas classics

(WSB video)
In a weekend full of holiday concerts, this was no doubt the biggest, boldest, brassiest sound to be found … the West Seattle Big Band performing this afternoon at Admiral Church. We recorded most of the first half, in case you missed it. Above are the first three songs – a medley, “The Christmas Song,” and “Home for the Holidays“; below, “Winter Wonderland,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” and “Marshmallow World”:

Jenaige Lane and Sam Henry sang with the Big Band today; they teamed again during “Let It Snow.”

Jim Edwards directs the West Seattle Big Band, whose musicians donate their time and talents, often for students, but in this case, as a fundraiser for Admiral Church itself, getting ready to move out of its longtime home, after choosing to replace it with 21 housing units (primarily affordable homeownership) and a new church.

    Just can’t say THANK YOU enough to Jim Edwards and his beyond-marvelous West Seattle Big Band! This is now our Second Annual WSBB Holiday Benefit Concert at Admiral Church. (We are already planning our third in December 2025, stay tuned!) What fabulous musicians and non-stop energy! Loved their new crooner Sam Henry and the all-star cast of long-time faves. Teeerrific! Thanks, too, to Tracy Record and the West Seattle Blog for being such a great friend to Admiral Church. We’re trying hard to contribute to Community here in West Seattle and appreciate you helping to spread the word! Anita Shaffer for Admiral Church
