George Winstone
Born:
Born in London, the rising star saxophonist George Winstone relocated to New York City in March 2019, bolstered by the endorsements of music legends Chick Corea, Jacob Collier, Ben Monder, and Chris Potter.
An artist whose technical prowess serves a decidedly spiritual commitment, Winstone is a powerful player and composer whose ensembles have been featured at London hotspots Ronnie Scott’s, Jazz in the Round at the Cockpit Theatre, the Verdict, and the Vortex, as well as in New York at the esteemed ShapeShifter Lab and Ornithology Jazz Club. After releasing his first EP in 2018, Outer Spaces, Winstone’s work met critical acclaim, with All About Jazz calling him a “future star in the making” and Bebop Spoken Here praising his “floating, ephemeral sound that drifts like a cloud.”

Gabe Terracciano
A native of Portland, Maine, Gabriel Terracciano has been playing the violin since the age of three. After eight years of strictly classical training, he discovered the jazz violin playing of Joe Venuti, Stuff Smith, and, later on, Zbigniew Seifert, who all changed his musical life (and life in general!) forever. Since then, Gabe has developed into a versatile multi-instrumentalist and a musician who has been recognized for playing the violin “in a way that’s unlike anyone else” (Sam Pfeifle, Portland Phoenix), while “proving himself as an improviser, never overplaying or imitating his predecessors on his instrument” (iTunes official album review for Crunch Time with Ron McClure). As an improvising string player, Gabe has delved into the fields of modern jazz, Gypsy and hot jazz, Middle Eastern, electronic, pop, bluegrass, and Latin styles, just to name a few! He has played for many years throughout the United States as both a leader and sideman, including multiple performances at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola (NYC), part of Jazz at Lincoln Center
