About the Artists:
Michael Powers: On stage, guitarist Michael Powers has shared billings with Herbie Hancock, the legendary Ray Charles, award-winning vocalist Diane Schuur, Gladys Knight and the Pips and contemporary Jazz artists Ronny Jordan, Tom Grant and David Benoit. His powerful performances have regularly commanded standing ovations.
Darren Motamedy: Saxophonist Darren Motamedy is one of the most sought after contemporary smooth jazz artist in the Northwest. Darren has performed with giants like "The Rippingtons" and "David Lanz". He has opened shows for Grover Washington Jr., Ray Charles, Dee Daniels, Ce Ce Penniston and Denice Williams with his great band.
Deems Tsutakawa: Deems has established himself internationally as a distinctive and imaginative writer, arranger, producer and an explosive solo pianist. With his roots planted firmly in an Asian American upbringing, Deems’ music has evolved into a delectable blend of R&B, pop and mainstream jazz that he calls "contemporary soul jazz."
Susan Pascal: Susan Pascal’s music strikes a fine balance between spontaneity and imaginative arrangements, originals and great jazz and American standards. Susan Pascal's name is as recognizable on the Pacific Northwest jazz scene as the unique tone of the instrument she plays: the vibraphone.
Greta Matassa: Greta wins wide acclaim and has earned a reputation as one of the top jazz vocalists in the Pacific Northwest. Her live performances are known for their soulful melodies, familiar standards, and loyal audiences. Often, Matassa will perform songs that consist entirely of audience requests.
