Worth the Wait: Our First Look at Rhythm in the Rain

It’s a pretty incredible feeling to see something that you have worked so hard on for so long come to fruition. That moment came earlier last week for all of us who have poured ourselves into the development of Rhythm in the Rain: Jazz in the Pacific Northwest, when a shipment of advanced reader copies […]
