Robert MacGregor
Born:
Robert MacGregor (b. 1983 / Los Angeles, CA), of European and Chinese descent, is rapidly developing a unique voice combining such saxophone influences as Lee Konitz, Warne Marsh, Stan Getz, George Coleman, and Joe Henderson, with a compositional approach that evokes the work of such diverse innovators from Maurice Ravel to Lennie Tristano, Wayne Shorter, Richie Beirach, and Kenny Wheeler. Being based in New York City since 2003 has afforded MacGregor the unparalleled opportunity to draw inspiration from both the brightest emerging talent of his generation as well as such cutting-edge artists as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Mark Turner, and Dave Binney, among many others. The result, as evidenced with the 2007 debut Refraction of Light, is music that is sophisticated and of-the-present yet accessible to a wide variety of listeners.

Phil Hargreaves
Born:
phil hargreaves is a Liverpool-based instrumentalist and composer working in the field of improvised and experimental music. I began playing as a guitarist in a punk band in the West Midlands, where i grew up, before moving to Liverpool at the age of twenty and buying a tenor sax, both decisions that would radically shape the rest of my life. Initially i was involved in Liverpool's pop scene, recording John Peel sessions with Personal Column, but eventually i moved via streetband work into the jazz field. After stints playing fusion and dinner jazz, i finally found the area where i could fully combine my talents, interests and influences, in improvised music, an area first stimulated by work with Peshkar theatre, and my subsequent study of Indian music with Aziz Zeria in Manchester. I played with guitarist Phil Morton in the duo Bonehouse, and also helped establish the Frakture club in Liverpool, a club space for improvised and experimental music

Aaron Leaney
Born:
Aaron Leaney, born December 5, 1983, is a Canadian jazz saxophonist and composer who has been performing since the late 1990’s. He has worked across a great variety of genres, from avant-guard improvised music to alt rock. He is an experienced and trained jazz musician but by no means does he choose to remain limited in one genre of music. His musical personality finds him foremost as an improviser; he treasures the immediacy of a spontaneous moment and what the results achieve. But his appreciation and deep investigation in composition allows him to be free within any given form and yet never detached from it. In 2005, a live radio broadcast performance resulted in the inclusion on ‘Alive From CJSW’ a CJSW 90.9FM double CD

John Ricci
Born:
”When you play, your music must groove enough to make your soul dance. When you play, your music must groove enough to make everyones soul dance with yours.” Paraphrased from the great pianist Donald Brown who John Ricci quoted on his debut jazz quartet CD release: Holding Time. Combining the culture of his Argentine roots and background in a musical family with a deep study of saxophone influences such as John Coltrane, Ben Webster, Stan Getz, Michael Brecker, Branford Marsalis and Mark Turner, John Ricci draws together soulful, hard swinging, harmonically modern and rhythmically diverse elements to his compositions and arrangements. Having studied to dedicate himself as a top performer and educator, John's mentoring has been quite balanced with the likes of renown tenor saxophonist and jazz leader Jerry Coker and world class pianist, composer and former Blakey Messenger Donald Brown. John has been performing regularly as a side man and a leader on various projects for more than 15 years, making it ideal for him to finally break out with his own new project that demonstrates his creativity, passion and seasoned refinement in with his own original works and arrangements
