Sunset sambas and the Bellwether Jazz Festival

Bellingham’s music scene got a boost today from the apparent success of its inaugural Bellwether Jazz Festival.

Sambatuque's Mikaela Romero  





World music, a seaside locale, a diverse selection of food vendors and perfect weather drew a lively crowd of aficionados to a late afternoon venue on the harbor.


A month from now summer will be long gone, but tonight, no northeasters, drizzle, scud, and most of all no talk of 9/11…just sambas coaxing another northwest sunset to take its sweet time. Already we're looking forward to next year.

  Until then, Sambatuque is sticking around for an encore.
