Show Notes: 61minutes MP3 (79MB@192kbps) John Nastos is a sax player that I met at Portland State during one of the jam sessions. Little did I know that he was actually in high school at the time. He's now in college in NYC and was back visiting Portland on 1_12_06 when I recorded his quartet, consisting of Eric Gruber on bass, Drew Shoals on drums and Dan Duval on guitar. This is the 1st set and is comprised of some of John's arrangements on standards, as well as original works. See more about these great new players on the Portland Jazz Scene at the new NW Jazz Player Database, which has all the player's links, email, and other pertinent information.

Chris Mosley is a young guitarist that spent some time at Berklee School of Music and is now here in Portland, Oregon. He brought in his trio for our first taped episode of PJJ-TV while we were still in the studio class. It came out as #3 on the broadcast schedule though. The show consists of a few minutes of interesting interview with Chris and myself, Darren Littlejohn as host. This is followed by several tunes with the trio, consisting of Chris, Drew Shoals and Damian Erskine on bass.
