the Teaching

The Teaching formed in 2006, making an immediately mark on the Seattle music scene with their combination of hard swinging jazz, face-scrunching hip-hop, and soulful devotional chants over lush chord progressions. While hosting the popular weekly creative music session The Hang for four years straight, The Teaching created collaborations with a wide range of instrumentalists, vocalists, and other artists on the diverse Seattle music scene. The Teaching was awarded the Earshot Jazz Golden Ear Award for Acoustic Jazz Group of the Year in 2009. The Teaching received a Grammy Nomination in the Album of the Year category for their collaboration track BomBom with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis on the album The Heist, and became Featured Artists on the Grammy-winning album when the Heist won the Grammy for Best Rap Album in 2014. In 2012, The Teaching released their third album Live at Dazzle on the Denver-based Dazzle Recordings Label, and in 2014 they will release their fourth album Birds of Flight which was recorded at the Triple Door in Seattle.
