John Allee
Born:
John Allee is a multi-faceted performer whose acting and music credits include both stage and screen. He is perhaps best known for playing the role of Pasha on the Golden Globe nominated Starz limited series "Flesh and Bone," created by acclaimed executive producer Moira Walley-Beckett, and for his stage work in Los Angeles, CA.
Recording under the nom-de-pop, Johnnye Allee, he released his debut CD Unless it Isn't in 2007, a collection of folk-pop/roots-rock originals which American Songwriter magazine called "a stunning suite of songs." His follow up to that was Expect Delays and featured John live at the piano performing another new set of tunes. John's first straight-ahead jazz release was Bardfly, an album of jazz interpretations of songs from the plays of Shakespeare. "It is Allee's slick composing, dramatic delivery, and acting chops that make this recording a standout" (All About Jazz). His latest jazz-pop-blues album is Past Imperfect, "a splendid, alternately heartfelt, charming, gently reflective and incisively pointed fictionalized chronicle of colorful characters...a powerhouse ensemble" (Jonathan Widran, JW Vibe).

Ineke Vandoorn
‘The adventurer among jazz singers’ (De Volkskrant). Dutch Grammy winner Ineke Vandoorn still lives up to this description. This time in an exciting duo with pianist and multiple award-winner Jasper van ‘t Hof. Both are known for their longstanding careers wherein they each developed their own inimitable styles. An unlikely but unique duo that offers a new perspective on the traditional ‘singer and pianist’ combination.
Together they surprise us with a delicate dance of an expressive voice, with seemingly unlimited potential and warmth, and ten virtuosic, sometimes ferocious, fingers. They deliver an original and varied repertoire that combines intricately intertwined melodies with an Indian raga, a Paul Simon song, and dazzling improvisations. Musical conversations that evoke artists as disparate as Betty Carter, Joni Mitchell, Norma Winstone and Flora Purim.
