Guitar Summit From Ballard Jazz Festival

Three guitar led trios were featured at the Guitar Summit at the 15th Annual Ballard Jazz Festival. Cole Schuster, Brad Shepik and Dan Balmer each led a set including  their own original music as well as jazz standards.   Representing Seattle, New York and Portland respectively, the three guitarists led three different ensembles that represented their own unique approaches to the guitar trio. The evening was recorded for radio and highlights will air on Jazz Northwest  on 88.5 KNKX on Sunday, June 4 at 2 PM Pacific, also streaming at knkx.org
