Artist: Meg Samples Trio

Meg Samples Morrow (drums) is a drummer, percussionist, and a radio host at KMHD. She is the Executive Director of Portland Jazz Composers’ Ensemble, which advocates for new jazz in Portland through its performances, young composers program, and record label. You can hear her on Today’s Good News with co-host Rev Shines, Monday through Friday at 8 am on KMHD, and on the weekends from 2-4 PM on Blue in Green.

Mieke Bruggeman (woodwinds) is a Portland-based multi-instrumentalist and educator. Three major life transitions, two trumpet players, one crummy first-grade teacher, and a whole mess of incredible mentors shaped Mieke’s charismatic and thoughtful approach to music.

Ryan Meagher (guitar) is a guitarist, composer, and educator known for his versatile playing that spans post-bop, Latin, and avant-garde styles. After honing his craft at San Diego State University and in New York City’s competitive music scene, Meagher relocated to Portland in 2012, where he balances teaching at multiple Northwest institutions with his role as Artistic Director of the Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble.
