Jazz Overhaul

Ott & Hunter is excited to announce the return of Earshot Jazz award winner JAZZ OVERHAUL--one of the most exciting bands around - right here in our intimate cabaret room!  

Voted by Earshot Jazz as the “NW Alternative Jazz Group of the Year" in 2023, Jazz Overhaul is a dynamic jazz quartet that transforms rock songs from Seattle's iconic grunge scene into captivating jazz arrangements. They artfully reimagine hits from bands like Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam, as well as other popular music from the past 30 years. The talented lineup features Cliff Colon on saxophone, Jake Sele on keys, Osama Afifi on bass.  While regular drummer D'Vonne Lewis is unavailable due to commitments with national acts, Jazz Overhaul is excited to feature special guest drummer, Scott Goodwin, for this show! Scott, a core member of The Andy Coe Band, RL Heyer, Your Sweet Action, and Flowmotion, is a versatile and sought-after Seattle-based musician who regularly performs with Jazz Overhaul and brings dynamic energy to the stage. This isn’t your typical jazz quartet – this is a JAZZ OVERHAUL!

“Seattle is blessed to have its own genre,” said Cliff Colón, saxophonist of Jazz Overhaul. He’s talking about grunge, which the Seattle quartet has spent the last couple of years translating into the jazz language. Renditions of Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy,” Alice in Chains’ “Them Bones” and Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” frequently pepper their setlists, and the fact that they pull it off with such imagination and verve is wholly down to the band’s players." - Earshot Jazz Golden Ear Awards

"Jazz Overhaul is nothing short of INCREDIBLE! Their talent and energy is electric and always a crowd pleaser. We are honored and grateful to host such a fun and engaging group at North City Bistro.” — Liza Park, North City Bistro (Owner)
