This week on Jazz Northwest we'll hear some great resident musicians from Portland to Vancouver, and recordings from the 70s to the present.
We'll hear a big band from Portland led by Rob Scheps play some highly original music by Ezra Weiss, an inventive new CD by Jon Hamar, two hard swinging saxophonists, Cory Weeds from Vancouver and Bert Wilson from Olympia, plus former Seattle/Vancouver/now New York singer Dee Daniels, the venerable Overton Berry Trio (at The Double Tree in 1970!) and others as we present some of the best of the Northwest and updates on the best spots for live jazz. Jazz Northwest is now at a new time, 2 pm on Sundays, on 88.5, KPLU.
