Mary Flower and PJCE together again for the first time / Coffeeshop Conversations #442

By TOM D'ANTONI // One of the most unusual and looked-forward-to musical events of this or any other year, Mary Flrower playing with the Portland Jazz Composers Orchestra "a night of musical fusion where fingerstyle roots blossom into Jazz band brilliance." Friday, August 29, kicking off the 2025 Montavilla Jazz Festival.

Welcome back to Coffeeshop Conversations. I’m Tom D’Antoni once again at my desk in NW Portland.

Our return to Artichoke Music has been postponed due to another stupid thing I did to injure myself.

Not stupid is Paul K Ward, at the controls in his Northeast Portland studioblue…all one word, all lower case.

With him is one of my favorite podcast guests, Mary Flower, guitarist, singer and composer who has an exciting concert on the horizon. As soon asI heard about it, I just had to ask her t do the podcast again.

And here she is.
