IMPRESSIONS

Skagit Valley College's "Impressions" combo are led by instructor, Vince Fejeran, and play jazz standards with an emphasis on funk and blues.

Although each member is below the age of 22, jazz is the term that best describes Impressions. All of their music is improvised on the spot! Simeon Billick (electric and upright bass) and Stephen Pilolla (keyboards) met through the music program at Skagit Valley College, forming a group almost immediately. Alto saxophonist Brian Do-Wook Kim was brought into the fold, followed by drummer Robert Neeleman. Now the goal is clear: To get the people of Skagit Valley out of their seats, onto their feet, and dancing- to funky beats!

RONNIE NIX

Ronnie Nix has performed in numerous locations including Japan and Italy thanks to the Navy. Growing up in Alabama, he was influenced by many different genres of music. His acoustic rendition of mostly top 40 hits and rock from the 90s is phenomenal. He loves performing and puts his heart and soul into each song he sings. You will enjoy his music selection and probably catch yourself singing along whether you want to or not.

JANETTE WEST GROUP

Seattle-based vocalist Janette West's multi-layered career spans four decades, and was nurtured in the fabric of Northwest music history. Her voice and style is a rich composite of dynamic jazz improvisation with the plush warmth of soulful R&B influences. JazzTimes magazine writes, “West is a first rate swinger, comparable in style and gusto to Ernestine Anderson, though the warmth of her ballads is more reminiscent of Natalie Cole.” The Examiner writes: “Janette West is a lovely and mercurial vocalist, a local favorite.”

When Janette sings, she shares a passion behind every note, every breath, and you get the feeling she has lived every lyric. She knows her way around the music and easily draws the audience into a robust ride. There is an obvious respect between her and the musicians with whom she generously shares the spotlight. Says Janette, “We have an amazing resource of world-class musicians in the Seattle area. I am in awe of the players I have been fortunate to work with and I feel privileged to play music with my husband as well.”

Marty TuttleJanette's husband/drummer Marty Tuttle, a veteran musician with a long history of credits, is the son of local treasure and icon trombonist Dave Tuttle. Growing up in a “jazz home,” Marty has lived music his entire life. Together, Janette and Marty formed their own groups. “Marty and I love playing music together. We know how lucky we are to share this dimension of life. We connect very well musically and this provides a solid core for the group.”

Their first CD, titled Snapshot and released on the Pony Boy Records label, features jazz standards with a Latin twist and is available on Amazon and iTunes. The cohesive duo of Eric Verlinde on piano and Chuck Kistler on bass thrill the listener while percussionist Ricardo Guity injects a rich Afro-Cuban flavor into the mix. The result earned them a choice write-up in Jazz Times magazine.
