Lee Barker - Barker Bass — It was a medical issue that forced musician Lee Barker into creating a new, stand up bass guitar. It sounds as good as it looks! Producer - KC Cowan

Jazz pianist Darrell Grant — Jazz pianist Darrell Grant is an academic who has stayed true to his soulful jazz roots. We visited his classroom at Portland State University and shot the CD release concert for his latest recording.

Jo Brody, healing arts — Jo Brody never thought of herself as an artist. A few years ago, she started making jewelry as she recovered from treatments for breast cancer. Now, she leads art workshops for women who are in treatment, inspiring them to become artists, too. Producer - Katrina Sarson
