Jacob Varmus

Born: October 6, 1973

Being pushed in a pram along the banks of La Scala in 1976 the two-year old Jacob Varmus suddenly emitted squeals and shrieks of unmasked delight. The most rapturous sounds he'd ever heard were bouncing off the plaza stone: a lone trumpeter's warming up from within open stage doors at the local opera house. Ten years later Jacob Varmus had a trumpet of his own and began winning top marks at all the California Music Educators' Association festivals for his work as soloist (Haydn's trumpet concerto and Goedicke's Concert Etude) and chamber musician. Evolving parallel to his love of music was an interest and talent in using language artistically thru poetry, critical essays, and autobiographical stories

Court Mast

Born: August 24, 1951

Court Mast Jazz composer/cornetist Court Mast - Sausalito Summer
Sausalito Summer, the CD released in August, 2008 by Sausalito jazz composer and cornetist Court Mast is, as one might suppose, a musical love letter to that colorful, cozy, delightful town snuggled onto the shore of San Francisco Bay just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. And like the town itself, Sausalito Summer is in turns soothing, funky and festive, with a steady stream of sea breeze to clear the mind. The recording is a lyrical, spirited delight, built for comfort but laced, as well, with stirring moments and happy musical surprises. The captivating joie de vivre and musical excellence of Sausalito Summer was highlighted immediately by the critical response to the CD

Stephen Haynes

Born: January 12, 1955

I am an improvising composer, arts advocate and educator; a product of the historic and fertile Black Music Division at Bennington College, directed by Bill Dixon. My early foundational studies were with the wonderful Frank Baird, who chaired the brass department at the University of Colorado's Boulder campus during the sixties and seventies. My current focus is the development of my own music for a variety of ensembles ranging from duo to nonette. I am very concerned with the plight of the local artist in his/her hometown and region, and with the importance of well-developed support for those of us who enjoy working close to home and being treated properly

Scott Black

Jazz cornet player. I've been touring with Leon Redbone for 25 years. Also many trad & swing bands as well. Monday nights at Arthur's Tavern in Greenwich Village when I'm not on the road. Just started a CD company, releasing unissued old acetates of broadcasts with Bunny Berigan, and many sides from New Orleans 1942-52. Having fun doing this, and lots of collectors seem happy about it. www.Kazoolips.com I still enjoy the road after all of these years, and get restless when I'm not out there. Made a ton of albums over the years and don't have most of them. I'm working on a book about Bix Beiderbecke
