Cornish isn’t just a school. It’s a community of dreamers, risk-takers, heart-on-your-sleeve types. We take pride in not fitting the mold, knowing learning happens in-between each breath, not just the ones where you are spouting off. How did this happen here? Maybe because Cornish was founded by a woman, when women founders were even more challenged than they are now.

I moved out here, took my Cornish entrance exams. Then, I went to Bumbershoot and I saw a show that Jovino Santos Neto and Chuck Deardorf and Hans Teuber were playing. I was like, ‘Woah, mind blown.’ A few days later, I went to school, and I was sitting on the couch, in the music building, and they walked by. I was like, ‘What? They’re here?’

At Cornish, Jim Knapp was my first jazz improvisation teacher. He’s also [the person] who gave me my first jazz gigs in Seattle. But then, when I met Denney Goodhew? Denney really changed everything.

The very first lesson I took with him, he had me play a bit. And then he asked me to stop playing and just breathe. And then he was like, “Well, how can you put anything out if you don’t take anything in?” That opened the curtain to a whole other realm.

The above are edited excerpts by Alexa Peters about the extraordinary circumstances that surrounded Beth Fleenor’s arrival in Seattle, from a 2023 interview with Fleenor at her home in Edmonds, WA. You can read more of her story in the March issue of Earshot Jazz, celebrating at earshot.org/march-2024/.
