“What makes music valuable is the effect that it has on the lives of people who listen to it.” —Herbie Hancock
Maiden Voyage is a traveling event series dedicated to intentional listening in high fidelity. Helmed by Jason Justice and Justin Cayou, two longtime fixtures of Seattle's vibrant music and nightlife communities, Maiden Voyage fuses music, community, and design into a listening experience inspired by the jazz kissa culture of Japan. As in those intimate spaces, listeners give their total attention to the music; the music is played on vinyl records; and the records are played on superlative audio equipment. A Maiden Voyage event may span classic and contemporary jazz, soul, ambient, or electronic. Sessions are intended to educate, inspire, and transport listeners beyond the bounds of the everyday. The result is a uniquely stimulating respite from the haze and noise of modern life conjured through music, savored individually, and shared communally.
Free tickets are available both onsite and online.
