Greta Matassa Group in Concert - Within/Earshot Jazz Festival'26

After a 40-year career that's taken her from Los Angeles to New York to stages across Japan and beyond, Greta Matassa is coming home to Bainbridge Island for this special concert.

Widely regarded as one of the finest jazz vocalists of her generation, Matassa has been named Best Jazz Vocalist in the Northwest eight times by Earshot Jazz, inducted into the Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame, and praised by bassist John Clayton as one of the best jazz singers working today.

Her performance will span the Great American Songbook, jazz interpretations of contemporary music, and original compositions including a preview of her upcoming Origin Records release, We Are Gathered Here (coming in 2027). Expect the fearless, instrumentalist-like phrasing and effortless scatting that's earned comparisons to Ella Fitzgerald and Nancy Wilson.

This isn't just a concert, it's a homegrown legend returning to the community that shaped her.
