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

Jazz Northwest, produced by Jim Wilke, focuses on the regional jazz scene from Portland to Vancouver, B.C. Albums by the best resident musicians from Seattle, Portland and Vancouver are featured, and the program also includes news about the best places to go for live jazz in the region. In addition, Jim goes "on location" to concerts, clubs and jazz festivals to record performances by resident and visiting artists for playback on Jazz Northwest. These one-of-a-kind recordings are available nowhere else!
