Dan Raphael is a poet. This session is at the PCM studios, with Tim DuRoche on drums and Jason Dumars on sax. Captain Dan played bass. I think you'll dig it. The video is 300 MB, but will download nicely to your iPod or computer. iTunes Quicktime 7.x is required to view. The format is iPod Video via Quicktime compression but should play fine in VLC or other players like FireAnt.

Show Notes: 68minutes MP3 (95MB@192kbps) The Annual Guitar Summit at the Old Church. This is about the 11th Annual Guitar Summit, put on by Sandy Stallcup and John Stowell. This is #5 for me. My sweetie and I have been going ever since we moved to Portland. The third player has varied, but Dan Balmer and John Stowell have been the mainstay with Dave Captein on bass. This is the 2nd year they've been joined by Mike Denny. Each year they try different arrangements, solo, duo, trio. It's always good! This is the status quo of jazz guitar in Portland and these guys are world class. We got all of the 1st set and some of the 2nd set. This is a great show. Let us know how you enjoy it.
