The Seattle jazz scene is bursting with talent and is a true hidden gem of the jazz world. Seattlites know how special it is, but word is only now starting to get out to the rest of the world. I decided to shine a spotlight on some of the marvelous composers we have here in The Town with "Homegrown", the fifth album from the Jason Parker Quartet.
The album features tracks by Josh Rawlings, Thomas Marriott, Cynthia Mullis, Jeremy Jones, Hadley Caliman, Marc Seales, Troy Kendrick and myself. Many other tracks were submitted for consideration (see the list below), but it's these 10 tracks that made for the strongest album.
I'm incredibly proud and honored to be able to record and release this wonderful music from my friends and colleagues in the Seattle jazz scene. I'm also thrilled that my working band has now been together for 8 years and is still going strong. Many thanks to Josh Rawlings, Evan Flory-Barnes and D'Vonne Lewis for sticking by me and contributing so much, and to Cynthia Mullis for being the 5th Beatle.
I was inspired to dig this up by PaulR posting the image, and seeing it and thinking it looks familiar, but I don't know what it is, so I did a little digging, and here I am. Haven't listened to this in years; forgot how good it is. Thanks Paul!

@greg, that's the same picture of Joe that we have - I just like the original psychedelic LP cover better! Link to new MPS stuff at eMu, hope that there is more to come from the vaults.
Another good recent vintage Euro-jazz find - I love Shihab, especially on flute. There is a nice little collection of the Clarke-Boland stuff to be found on the same label.

Dream Police - Hypnotized
Side project of The Men, it's a lot more synthy.

Essential the same band, with different leaders. I like the Sean Jones more each time I hear it, a really joyful album.
