Cindy: Jazz Society On A Mission

When Dolores Gonzales moved to Spokane from Los Angeles, she didn’t miss the traffic or the hectic lifestyle of Southern California, but she did miss the music. “In bigger cities, smooth jazz is the music of choice for mature adults,” she says. So five years ago, she and a co-worker launched the Smooth Jazz Society of the Inland Northwest. Smooth or contemporary jazz emerged in the ’70s, pioneered by musicians like Kenny G, Michael Bolton and George Benson. “It’s a younger jazz with more of an R&B beat,” says Gonzales. “The reason it’s been so slow to catch on here is because there’s no radio station that plays it”/ Cindy Hval , SR.
