The Jackson Street Music History Project
Families from Seattle’s historic Jackson Place neighborhood and the greater Central District area will gather in a day filled with with art, live music and entertainment. The occasion; the opening celebration of the Jackson Street Music History Project, a public art installation that honors musicians from the Central District’s rich history of jazz, funk, soul, and hip hop; much of which took place in the music clubs that used to line Jackson Street. Many of these musicians are still alive and active in our community- this event is to pay homage to their contributions in a family-festive environment.
The Low Income Housing Institute recently purchased the vacant lot at 2010 S. Jackson Street and agreed to allow Jackson Place Community Council to use the east half of the lot for a temporary community art installation. Pratt Fine Arts Youth Art Works Coordinator Lily Hotchkiss has matched students from Washington Middle School and Nova High School with local community artists to design, create and install four installations celebrating four genres of music; jazz, funk, soul, and hip hop. Each installation uses a different artistic medium; photography, screen printing, aerosol, and mixed media.
The opening celebration takes place Saturday, June 25th in Blanche Lavizzo Park as part of the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center’s “Showcase at Lavizzo Park” music series. The opening ceremony will begin at 2pm with the art installation’s unveiling followed by special guest speaker including Seattle City Councilmember Nick Licata. The afternoon will feature performances from funk/soul artists from the Wheedle’s Groove collective, a hip hop showcase from 206 Zulu Nation, DJ Seabefore and special guests. Lavizzo Park is located half a block southwest from E. Yesler Way and 22nd Ave S. This event is free and open to all ages.
Performance Schedule:
2:30 Opening Ceremony
3:00 DJ Seabefore & Special Guests
4:30 Wheedle’s Groove
6:30 Zulu Nation Hip Hop Showcase
With support by Pratt Fine Arts Center, 206 Zulu, Jackson Place, Jackson Street Corridor Association, Spoken Visual Productions, Casa Latina, Low Income Housing Institute, Goodwill, Casa Latina, Field Roast, LC Jergens, NW Tofu Inc.

Launch of Sliding Scale the Global Solo Debut of Julie C
Explosive Female Lyricist Announces E.P. & Release Parties
The long anticipated solo project of noted Hip Hop artist, educator, and cultural advocate Julie C is finally here, with the debut of Sliding Scale. For years, Julie C has been making her mark on the underground Hip Hop scene locally and nationally. She is known not only as a fierce, tenacious artist from B-Girl Media, Knox Family, and the legendary Seattle crew Alpha P, but also as a dedicated activist and community organizer with 206 Zulu, Hip Hop Congress, and other local and national grassroots organizations.
Sliding Scale is a hard-hitting, energetic release that exclusively highlights Julie C’s dynamic and aggressive style as a veteran artist and seasoned lyricist. The six song E.P. features production from M.Famous, Phreewil, Neebor, Nitro Fresh, and Boombox Massacre, and is being offered to the masses for free, in digital and (a limited number of) physical formats.
In celebration of the Sliding Scale debut, Julie C will be performing at two events. The all-ages pre-release show will be held Sunday, May 29th, 2011, 4:00pm at the Vera Stage at Seattle Center, as part of the Ladies First Showcase at the Northwest Folklife Festival.
