Nonprofit jazz group brings top performers to The Majestic

Bellingham drummer Julian MacDonough founded Whatcom Jazz Music Art Center one year ago as an all-ages nonprofit performance and education space in the lower level of The Majestic on North Forest Street, with the entrance on Maple Street.

It’s an intimate space with a capacity of 100, but it has hosted performers who loom large in the Northwest jazz scene and beyond: Greta Matassa, Louis Hayes, Cory Weeds, Harold Mabern and Jennifer Scott, to name a few.
