Connor French

Born: September 23, 1992

I am a high school musician who has played the alto sax for 5 years. I have studied jazz for all of these years and am up for any challenge when playing music. I play the electric bass and sax in a heavy metal band, but it doesn't represent my full range of musical abilities. I'm starting a jazz/funk/rock fusion band with some friends soon and I'll update that info soon. As you can see, I have diverse musical interests, but first and foremost is jazz.

Born: January 25, 1963

One of the most diverse, in demand sax players in all of contemporary jazz, Azmi Hairudin finds pure joy at the heart of his increasingly fast-paced touring schedule by reminding himself, every time he gets on stage, that he’s there to do one thing: Play! Azmi first expressed his interest in music on the drums, switching to saxophone in Jr. High School when he was "impressed" with the shininess of the sax.

Having built a steady following as a sideman in some of KL’s top jazz clubs, 1990 saw Azmi stepping out in faith and starting his own band

Michael John Kerley

Born: January 3, 1951

I started playing clarinet at the age of 15 and then advanced on to play the alto/tennor/barritone sax's at the royal millitary school of music when I was in the army. I mostly played millitary music and some big jazz band stuff which I really enjoyed the most. I then left the army in 1978 after 12 years and did not play again for about thirty years but I now am getting my lip back in to start to play jazz again but at the moment just on the alto sax.
