Musician

Jens Bunge

Born:

„We must welcome Jens Bunge to the growing ranks of chromatic harmonica players in jazz.(…) Jens has a round tone and technique, supported by musicianship. Good luck, the road is not easy but you’ve got the conviction and the equipment.“

(Jean “Toots” Thielemans)

Jens Bunge was born in 1963. At the age of 18, he began to play the chromatic harmonica. Influenced by the recordings of Belgium harmonica player Jean Toots Thielemans, he soon found his passion for jazz.

In the mid 1980’s he began to perform with local big bands and jazz groups, receiving more and more acknowledgement for his melodic improvisation style.

Musician

Tom Lemczyk

Tom is a musician/songwriter presently on piano/keyboards/chromatic harmonica and vocals. He is a native of Canada, born in Kitchener, Ontario. He has a Masters degree in engineering and is self-taught on all things music.

Having lived for over 20 years in the US, he now resides in Arizona. "I started out playing mostly folk and blues harmonica, with piano joining in on whatever I could figure out, and of course singing everyone else's lyrics eventually drove me to write my own. Then the chromatic harmonica just blew everything wide open for me--there's a whole big world of music out there waiting to explore! I think in hindsight it was only natural that I would eventually expand into jazz and uninhibited musical journeys."
