Starbucks hosts its 15th Hot Java Cool Jazz concert at the Paramount Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Tickets are $15; $8 for students and seniors.
Proceeds support music education programs for the schools that participate, which this year are Garfield, Roosevelt, Edmonds-Woodway, Newport and Mountlake Terrace. The first three bands are among only 15 nationwide that will compete in the 15th annual Essentially Ellington competition and festival in New York City, May 8-10. Garfield and Roosevelt each have won that competition three times.
