The Shawn Mickelson Quartet brings the bright, expressive sound of Seattle’s jazz brass scene to stages across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Led by trumpeter Shawn Mickelson, a prominent figure in Seattle’s brass and jazz communities, this ensemble blends melodic horn lines with refreshingly tight group improvisation. Whether performing in intimate club settings like Serafina in Seattle or featured in festival lineups, Mickelson’s projects emphasize craft, history, and the spontaneity that defines modern jazz.
