Bucky Pizzarelli
Bucky Pizzarelli was considered the only guitarist next to George Van Eps, to play the seven-string electric guitar exclusively. Bucky is a dedicated preservationist of the old guitar music and the early styles of playing. Recordings like Love Songs and NY Swing present a picture of the complete jazz musician and guitarist who moves effortlessly from the daunting format of the solo guitar to playing solid, swinging rhythm and single string solos in an ensemble setting.
John Bunch

Phil Flanigan

Phil acquired “the Lady's Head" bass in 2001, a legend in its own right as evinced by the list of previous owners: Bob Casey, Irv Manning, Red Balaban, and Bob Haggart.
Jonathan Russell
Jonathan Russell is a sensational twelve year old jazz violinist from New York City who performs regularly throughout the area. The New York Times has written “When he solos, he embraces his instrument and enters a private cocoon, where he conjures sophisticated improvisations on the melodies of jazz standards".
