Andy Kotz

Born: March 7, 1960

Born in Detroit and raised in Michigan, Argentina, Arizona, Oregon and California...It all started with a summer job as a lighting and sound apprentice at The Golden Bear Nightclub in Huntington Beach, CA in 1977. I saw Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlton and The Robben Ford Band and was immediately in love with the guitar. My grandfather Agustin Cornejo was a reknowned Argentine folk guitarist so the instrument was in my blood. Two years at Golden West College, a year of study at G.I.T. (March/1983-84) and my love for jazz and r&b led to cover bands in southern California to learn the skill of musicianship. I then worked for 14 years out of the Los Angeles area (Burbank, CA), playing, writing, producing and/or recording with the likes of The Worthy Davis Project, Louie Louie, Gerardo, Freejack, Hayden (Motown still owes me for that session!), a very brief stint with Otis Day and the Knights, Michael Schlessinger, Danielle LoPresti, (sampling/sequencing for M.D.) Chuckie Booker's TLC Tour, Michelle Shocked, Chante Moore, After 7 and El DeBarge before relocating to Minneapolis, MN in 1997, playing with the Ronny Loew Band and composing for my sister and film producer Cristina Kotz Cornejo (cKc)

Jerry Wigens

Born: February 10, 1955

I was inspired to start playing in the late 60s/early 70s by British progressive bands such as Soft Machine and avant American jazzers and jazz rockers like Coltrane, Miles Davis and Chicago. Guitar has always been my main instrument but I have been involved in the London improvisation scene for nearly twenty years or so as a clarinetist in addition to playing guitar and mandolin. I worked my way through various bands in the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s and now enjoy a varied and diverse range of musical activities from the free-jazz explorations of the band Glowering Figs (with Ivor Kallin (bass/vocals) and Dave Fowler (drums) to various stable combinations of improvisers, notably a trio with violinist Sylvia Hallett and flautist/vocalist Thomas Kumlehn, Esha Jotwe Teka

Jim Cavender

Born: May 11, 1962

Jim Cavender spends more and more time recording, whenever he has time off from gigs. He just finished recording a literature/jazz project, "Alligator Wings" by Duke Way, which he started immediately after finishing "And So It Is" by Keith Taylor Trio and "Been Down Low" by Ivy Joe Milan. In 2012, he produced The Crawling Chaos by Rolling Jazz Revue. He released three non-jazz singles by pleasPlease, "Blues Schnitzel", a cover of James Brown's "Get Up (I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine)" and a cover of "Timothy" written by Rupert Holmes in March of 2013.

In 2011, he finished one collaborative Americana CD, A Cellarfull Of Noise , with Skip Heller. He released a blues/r&b recording, The Snake Doctors (Deluxe Version), featuring the soulful singing and songwriting of Charlie Howell on 13 tracks originally released on CD in 1997, along with three, previously unreleased, live tracks recorded in 2008. He recorded and engineered four songs for an LP by Robert Daniel and Jana Savanapridi, as well as a Thunderfakers (Savanapridi along with Matt Bakula) song for a compilation, The Long Hundred, on Cosmodemonic Telegraph Records in Connecticut.

In 2010, Cavender produced To A Planet by Rolling Jazz Revue and one blues/rock live CD, Bookaroo. To A Planet features all original tunes. Bookaroo is a live collaboration between Cavender, Ivy Joe Milan and the Snowballs, Criss Ashwell and other mainstays of the Huntsville, Alabama, music scene. Both the live concert and the CD were fundraising projects for Huntsville Public Library, where the CD is currently available.

In 2008, Jim produced three jazz CDs, Elephants In The Crosswalk and Halloween On Union Avenue by Rolling Jazz Revue and O Christmas Tree-O by the Keith Taylor Trio. The two RJR CDs feature tunes written by the group's members, Jim Cavender, Newt Johnson, Ben Cohen and Brian Palmieri, but they couldn't resist covering Ornette Coleman's "Ramblin'" on their debut CD, Halloween On Union Avenue. Ken Watters co-wrote "Flying Carpet" with Cavender on the same CD.

Jim has eaten plenty of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches throughout the country with bands The Jungle, Then Again and The Snake Doctors. He didn't pass out while performing with Percy Sledge, Bo Diddley and Chocolate Armenteros, three people he admires. He has also performed in Cuba with pianist Roberto Carcasses and trumpeter Julio Padron, in Colombia and in Sweden with bassist Anders Eriksson and trumpeter Toti from Circus Maximus. Jim studied music at East Texas State University, and in his home state of Alabama he was lucky enough to get lessons with the late r&b session guitarists Tippy Armstrong and Eddie "Spanky" Alford.

Cavender has produced or co-produced albums in various genres since 1986 including The Jungle by The Jungle (jazz), It Creeps Up On You by Swine Cadillac (blues), Move To The City by Then Again (rock), Brothers by Ken and Harry Watters (jazz), The Snake Doctors by The Snake Doctors (rhythm and blues), Black Boots And A Suitcase by Joshua Black Wilkins (rockabilly) and Along The Anchorline by Skip Heller Trio (jazz). Currently Jim is working on an r&b/funk CD featuring Ivy Joe Milan on vocals and percussion, and he has a CD in the works with his jazz/funk/rock organ combo Trio El Camino.

In addition to playing instruments and/or singing backup vocals on the above-listed albums, Jim Cavender played upright bass and guitar on Don Bowyer's Itchin' In The Kitchen (big band jazz) and co-wrote "Fall Festival" with Ken Watters on Brothers III by Ken and Harry Watters (jazz). Jim also contributed original songs for some of the albums he has produced over the years.
