Smooth Groove Productions Blog: Jazz in The Georgian, June 15, 2013

On Saturday, June 15, we had guitarist Paul Sawyer in the house for Jazz in The Georgian inside The Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle, Washington. Paul and I have known each other for over twenty years. We would be on gigs together since the early 1990's playing all over Seattle whether at a club in Pioneer Square or at a private event. Paul is one of the established musicians in Seattle who is rock solid and versatile playing many styles of music. As an accomplished jazz guitarist, he attended Berklee College of Music in Boston for a year. Paul currently teaches at North Seattle Community College and has a stable of private guitar students. He can be seen the first weekend of every month with drummer Andre Thomas' group Quiet Fire at Grazie Ristorante in Bothell, which includes saxman/flutist Bernie Jacobs and electric bassist Dean Schmidt. Paul is a fine musician who has decades of professional experience, and a good friend with whom I always enjoy working.

Here is a video of a song we did called Alone Together.
