Event Description

Bale's Place welcomes jazz vocalist Greta Matassa.

"A vocal chameleon herself, Matassa can sound husky or crisp, ebullient or wailing, girlish or jaded. She recalls Billie Holiday in one phrase and Cleo Laine the next." -- Misha Berson, The Seattle Times

"Her scatting is as confident, nimble an energetic as Ella’s and her phrasing is hip like Nancy Wilson's" -- Earshot Jazz

In the Pacific Northwest, where she built her career, Greta Matassa wins wide acclaim; 8 times, the readers of Earshot, the Seattle jazz magazine, have voted her the best jazz vocalist in the Northwest, including 2021!

She was inducted into the Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame in 2014. Jim Wilke, the Seattle jazz maven and host of the syndicated “Jazz After Hours” radio program, praises her versatility. “She has a fearlessness in approaching material,” Wilke says, “that makes her like an instrumentalist in a jam session.”

Reservations available from 7:30pm on. $20 per person added to your bill. There is also a $30 food & beverage minimum per person.
