Roberta Gambarini presented a workshop on the song and how a performer infuses a song with meaning. Her accompanist for the session was pianist Tamir Hendelmen.

Later that day, the Jazz Port Townsend public performances began. People gathered just outside McCurdy Pavilion in anticipation. McCurdy Pavilion is a refurbished balloon hangar that can hold as audience as large as 1200 people. I attended two performances in the pavilion today. The festival also includes performances in Port Townsend clubs in the evening.
Radio personality Jim Wilkie and festival director, and bassist, John Clayton welcomed the audience to the festival.
