Jack Straw has been documenting and presenting the Northwest's best traditional music performers of various world cultures. The Traditional Artist Support Program features performers from India, Korea, Mexico and Puerto Rico. "Safarini" features musicians originally from the African Continent.

The "Salmon in the City" project celebrates the presence and heritage of salmon in the Pacific Northwest. In May 2001, fifteen temporary artworks were commissioned within the City of Seattle to create awareness of the recent listing of Chinook Salmon as endangered under the Endangered Species act of the United States. Jack Straw was a partner in two projects, "Salmon Suite" by poet Judith Roche and "Salmon Song" by artist Jim Pridgeon.

This project is an experiment in the uses of the internet for the composition of music. Jack Straw, which was chosen as the west coast site of this national project, has commissioned San Diego composer Rand Steiger to create a new work for the internet with a live-performance version which will be played by LA's California EAR Unit.
