Stretching our focus on Pacific Northwest artists just a bit, we open this week's show with pianist Gene Argel, who began his career in Seattle and Tacoma, but has been a resident of Hawaii since 1982. His album Luminescent features regional musicians Jay Thomas, Chuck Deardorf and Mark Ivester.

Also featured this week: Cory Weeds, Hans Teuber & Jeff Johnson, Tom Collier, and another tune from the highly regarded Ahmad Jamal's Emerald City Nights: Live At The Penthouse, from the 1960s recorded at the Penthouse Jazz Club in Seattle.
