Katano will be accompanied by local artists David Joyner (piano), Clipper Anderson (bass), and Mark Ivester (drums). Deseo Carmin (a band led by Stella Rossi that features a fiery fusion of Latin rhythms, soulful Jazz-Funk grooves, and the passionate spirit of Flamenco) and award-winning Jewish music composer Chava Mirel (a celebrated jazz and world music artist), both Seattle-based groups, will also perform. “International Women in Jazz” will take place Nov. 15, 2025 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at The Royal Room, 5000 Rainier Ave, Seattle.
