Scenes

Master Portland guitarist John Stowell joins with the 8 year-old Seattle trio of John Bishop, Jeff Johnson and Rick Mandyck to create "Scenes," a free-flowing collection of eclectic, mainstream jazz originals and new standards. Drawing on Stowell's longtime association with bassist David Friesen and the trio's involvement in the very fertile Seattle creative music scene that has included Julian Priester, Jessica Williams, Gary Peacock, Art Lande, Larry Coryell and so many more, this quartet creates an intelligent, elegant, modern recording for our times. Originally released in 2001.
