What, no Northern California shows on this tour? You've got to be kidding me! They have an open day on November 2nd. San Francisco is halfway between Portland and LA. Jazz House, Black Box, Zebulon's- someone must be willing to book them or arrange a show. I hope something positive happens. I really like their cd on Composers Recordings, not to mention an incredible lineup. John Threadgould
