Jazz LIVE at Marine View is one of the best jazz series in the South Sound, and it isn't even a club. The venue is actually a church off beautiful Marine View Drive in Northwest Tacoma; it also happens to host a treasured music series for free. The series starts up again this weekend with Mark Lewis Quartet featuring guitarist Milo Petersen who has been honored by the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts and the Seattle Arts Commission. Petersen has performed with a wide array of artists including Eartha Kitt, Ernestine Anderson, Julian Priester, Cedar Walton and Mose Allison. Saxophone and flute master Mark Lewis, bassist Chuck Kistler and drummer Brad Boal. The rest of the fall series features flugelhornist Dmitri Matheny (Oct. 12), EntreMundos Quarteto (Nov. 16) and Christmas jazz from Michael Powers (Dec. 18).
