Seattle is rich in music and the roots are deep!  Very deep!  Among places to go-  There is the old jazz district along Jackson Street in the central area the International District.  There are shows and performances in numbers of current live houses, jazz clubs, music festivals, and classic halls of music.   Spend time exploring the sites in Belltown, as well as the historic neighborhoods of Pioneer Square and Bullard. 

This is the place not to listen, but to experience music!  www.seattle.gov/music
