Damn I wish I lived in Seattle. It seems like there's such a good scene there. And you guys being near Microsoft seem to all be plugged in and spreading the word about how great Seattle's scene is.

The Canadian contingent I can't explain? I guess there's just nothing to do in Canadia!

Actually, for its' relative size , the Seattle /Tacoma /Portland axis is home to an inordinate number of excellent jazz artists living up here ..

BTW: the bulk of the CZ CD was recorded and mixed at a great studio in Redmond

WA ( Triad Studios ) that literally backs right up to the main Microsoft campus ..
