Jazz Northwest celebrates May Day with a bouquet of Northwest favorites old and new. This week's show includes a 1990 duet by Larry Coryell and Marc Seales playing "Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most" as well as new releases by trumpet players Ray Vega and Thomas Marriott, and Jazz Port Townsend favorite Matt Wilson's "Big Happy Family."
Some outstanding women in jazz including Jill Townsend, Sara Gazarek, Ann Reynolds and Miranda Sage are featured and we'll remember the recently closed Boxley's in North Bend with a performance by Danny Kolke Trio and guest Pete Christlieb.
