As major fixtures in the Northwest jazz scene and educators at Cornish College for 25 years, bassist Chuck Deardorf & guitarist/composer Dave Peterson were central influences on many of the rising talents in creative jazz today including Brad Shepik and Briggan Krauss. Drawing from their many years of touring and recording with artists like Kenny Barron, Art Lande, Bob Moses, Paul Motian, and dozens of others, they co-lead this alternately reflective and fiery quartet along with drummer John Bishop and saxophonist Hans Teuber. Featured on this debut recording are guests, New York pianist George Cables and Bay-area percussionist Michael Spiro. "Portal" showcases the compositions of Dave Peterson as well as new takes on Wayne Shorter's "Ana Maria" and the classic "Invitation."
