Coffeeshop Conversations #12: Dan Balmer - Outspoken Jazz guitarist entertaining as always

February 19, 2015 With me in the coffeeshop today is guitarist, composer and educator Dan Balmer who has had a long and interesting career playing all kinds of Jazz and some Jazz the Jazz Police didn’t want you to think was Jazz. This week’s Coffeeshop Conversation, coming to you, as usual, from World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th and Glisan in Portland. It went up on Thursday, February 19, 2015, the first day of the Portland Jazz Festival. He's always engaging and opinionated and fun to talk with.
