Guitarist John Stowell is an internationally acclaimed master of jazz guitar, with a vast and dynamic understanding of harmony. He plays with an ease and beatific grace that is virtuosic and unique. His long association with the Seattle jazz scene has united him with so many of the important voices in the history of jazz music in the city, and this performance bears that history out.

Stowell is joined by Seattle jazz legend Jay Thomas, fresh off his autumnal tour of Japan. One of the rare practicioners of both the trumpet and saxophone in jazz history, Thomas, who recently turned seventy five, has been performing in the city since the late sixties. Bassist Phil Sparks is himself a huge part of the jazz story in Seattle over the past thirty five years, back to the days of the Wednesday night session at The New Orleans with Floyd Standifer. Drummer Adam Kessler is the new kid on the block here, though a noted veteran player himself. All of the above are at the top of their game, making this gathering compelling. https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
