March of this year saw the passing of virtuoso pianist and composer Jessica Williams. Ms. Williams fame did not match her stature as a world class Jazz artist, partially due to her choice to reside mostly on the West Coast, including for a time in Seattle where she build deep and lasting relationships with some of our local Jazz heroes. Piano Starts Here has invited a few of her collaborators and colleagues to honor her memory with music, and maybe a story or two.

Performers: Jeff Johnson, Marc Seales, Carolyn Graye, Randy Halberstadt, Alex Guilbert (host), Robin Lloyd (MC)
