We are pleased to welcome back for the third time a wonderful and eclectic saxophonist who makes his home in both NYC and Portland, OR. Rob Scheps has performed/recorded with everyone from Henry Threadgill and Julius Hemphill to Gil Evans, Jaki Byard and Dianne Reaves and even PDQ Bach. It should be a lot of fun and pretty amazing to boot I'm sure. http://www.robscheps.8m.net. We are also very excited to welcome, subbing for Jon, Rob's good friend drummer Bill Goodwin,. Bill started his career in the 60's working with the likes of Charles Lloyd, Art Pepper, Paul Horn and George Shearing. After a 3 year stint with Gary Burton he became drummer and producer for Phil Woods and in that time won three Grammy awards for the albums he produced. We can't wait to play with these great artists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Goodwin_(jazz_drummer)
