Jazz Night School, Seattle’s only all-ages jazz education institution, is partnering with West 5 Restaurant and Lounge on #GivingTuesday, Nov. 29. Proceeds from restaurant sales on #GivingTuesday will benefit Jazz Night School’s Bring Jazz to Life capital campaign to fund construction of a new facility for the school.

“We are thrilled to partner with West 5 Restaurant for this year’s #GivingTuesday.” said Erik Hanson, founder and Executive Director of Jazz Night School. “Funds raised in support of our Bring Jazz to Life campaign will help us build our new school in Seattle’s Rainier Valley and will greatly increase our capacity for people to learn, study and enjoy jazz.” said Hanson.

To celebrate #GivingTuesday, a performance ensemble from Jazz Night School will provide live jazz entertainment (no cover charge) at West 5 starting around 7:00 p.m. The restaurant is located at 4539 California Ave SW.
