Northwest Pianorama
David Vest, Janice Scroggins, DK Stewart
Waterfront Blues Festival
Portland, OR.
July 3, 2011

Again the WBF went off with some big names in the music world. The non-profit radio station, KBOO, here in Portland did the broadcasting again and there were lots of problems this year, as in other years. Many drops in reception which I attemted to "fix". Not all were broadcast, which was a bummer, and some were just to rife with problems to save. So there are some bumps in the road, if you will, but over all some nice tunes are here. Of note, the Preston Shannon set, James Harmon, Bobby Radcliff, Chris Cain Band, Ty Curtis Band and of course Lucinda Williams. So enjoy & spread the shows around, twofthrs.

FM>H2 Zoom> HDD>FLAC>Dime All files were sector aligned.
Since I'm not familiar with a lot of these bands there will be some "unknowns" in the set list's.

Three blues piano legends from the Pacific Northwest join forces for an all-out "thirty fingers of doom" boogie-woogie session, backed by a rhythm section featuring Don Campbell, Peter Dammann and Jimi Bott.

All three pianists have won Muddy Awards for Best Keyboard Player. All three worked extensively with Paul deLay. While each will be spotlighted individually, the real treat comes when all three play together, with no holds barred.

Scroggins and Stewart are based in Portland. Vest settled in Canada a few years ago and lives on Vancouver Island.
Scroggins is well-known for her collaborations with Linda Hornbuckle, Norman Sylvester and Reggie Houston, as well as for her unparalleled solo work.

Stewart tours the northwest with his combo and is a first-call session player who can be heard on many prominent recordings by Northwest artists, including his own.

Vest, who hails from Alabama, performs solo or with his band at major festivals in Canada and the USA.
