Guitarist Jonny who was named "the English virtuoso" by 'GUITAR' magazine in 2004, has played countless gypsy jazz festivals with the likes of Bireli Lagrene, Lulu Reinhardt, Stochelo Rosenberg, to name a few. Second guitarist Jason, professional for 10 years. A very versatile player who has firmly established his name on the South Coast scene as a top swinging soloist & accompanist. Artists & bands he has played with include Joe Lee Wilson, Hai La Drum & Rockin' In Rhythm. Last but certainly not least, the talented bass player, Dan who has played with, among others, guitar hero John Etheridge, tenor titan Bobby Wellins, former Oscar Peterson drummer Bobby Durham, former McCoy Tyner drummer George Johnson. He also works as a freelance sideman, appeared with Jimmy Scott at Ronnie Scotts, and has been hired for countless recording sessions.
