Latin jazz is one of the features on this week's Jazz Northwest, 2 PM Pacific on 88.5 KPLU. Recent CD releases from veteran Seattle percussionists Johnny Conga and Lary Barilleau are included as well as a new solo CD by Brazilian pianist Jovino Santos Neto at the Fazioli Piano Salon in NYC.

Also this week, Vancouver reed man James Danderfer leads a New Orleans-style street band, and Jay Thomas' latest CD The Cats plays some neo-boogaloo!

Jazz Northwest is hosted by Jim Wilke, exclusively for 88.5 KPLU and kplu.org. A podcast is available online following the broadcast.
