“I’m not very good with words,” Alex Dugdale, 26, of Seattle, said. “But when I play sax and dance, I am truly able to express myself in my first language: rhythm. It is how I pray. It is how I express every emotion, good or bad.”
(Mr.) Dugdale, Educator Track Coordinator for Jazz Port Townsend, is a tap dancer, saxophone player and grade-school music teacher at eight schools. This month, he is an Earshot Jazz Golden Ear Award nominee (link to nominate Mr. Dudale) in the category of Emerging Artist of the Year. “It is a thrill and an honor to be nominated,” (Mr.) Dugdale said. “I love Seattle, the Pacific Northwest. The music scene here is so diverse and well supported.” (Centrum, 1/31/17)
