Jazz Northwest For February 28

Truman Buffett
Saxophonist Roxy Cross

This Sunday on Jazz Northwest on KPLU we'll showcase a wide variety of jazz talent from around Puget Sound to Vancouver and Victoria BC.  Included are two new releases with a New York connection - Thomas Marriott with Ray Vega, and tenor saxophonist Roxy Coss (formerly of Seattle, now in New York), plus a new CD from Victoria BC singer Miranda Sage.

We'll hear two different ten-piece bands who will play music by veteran arrangers Bob Hammer and Milt Kleeb in separate upcoming engagements.  We also highlight a couple of the bands playing the Tacoma Jazz Walk next Saturday (3/5).

Jazz Northwest is produced by Jim Wilke for 88.5 KPLU.  The program airs Sundays at 2 PM Pacific and streams at kplu.org.  Past programs are available for streaming at jazznw.org.   Next week's show will be a concert by The Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra featuring Terell Stafford on trumpet. 

Jim has been a fixture on Seattle radio since 1961. He was the host of Jazz After Hours on Public Radio International from 1984-2014. Currently Jim has been producing Jazz Northwest for KNKX since 1988. This weekly program focuses on the regional jazz scene and frequently includes performances Jim records on location for Jazz Northwest.
