Jason DuMars lives here in Portland. I've played at a couple a jam sessions with him but I never really heard his own material until tonight. Jason's stuff is mostly improvised (free) but very musical. He never indulges in the kind of squawk fests that are all too common in modern improvised music. He also does beautiful instrument engraving work.
He web site has a bunch of high quality sound clips from several different projects. Very nice material.
He wrote the online saxophone buyers guide, which is great if you are in the market for a vintage horn. This guy obviously keeps himself busy.

Wow, David! I am completely speechless. Thank you.
I'm looking forward to playing Saturday night -- maybe I'll see you at the Fireside?
