Michel Navedo Quartet

Born: March 30, 1970

Michel Navedo's style fuses the New Orleans tradition with which he was raised, with the music of his Puerto Rican heritage, to achieve a sound that is all his own. With such a rich musical background in which to grow up, Michel took to the trumpet at age 9 and began his quest for enlightenment and fulfillment through the art of song. Studied in Jazz, Afro Cuban, Brazllian, Classical, and Composition, Michel Navedo's focus on his instrument lies in song craft and improvisation. Look forward to an incredible Jazz release this year from Michel, "New Orleans On My Mind". Bringing a heart felt and lyrical approach to some smoky originals, the album's sultry southern swing is both elegant and eloquent

Since his first experiences playing with legendary drummer John Stevens in 1989, Ramanan has been a continuing presence on the London improvised music scene.

Ramanan has been a conductor and stalwart of the London Improvisers Orchestra since its inception. His latest CD “London” on Leo records features a group inspired by the experience of playing with Brotzmann’s own Chicago tentet.

This 13-piece ensemble combines inventive writing with vibrant solos by some of Chicago's finest big band practitioners.

Indofunk Satish

Born: December 11, 1971

Satish was raised in the Boston area, where he started playing trumpet at the age of 13. He started out his career in biology, going so far as to obtain a Master's degree in molecular biology from the University of Wisconsin in Madison. However, he decided that music was where his passion lay, and moved to New York City in 1996 to pursue a musical career. After a few years in the jazz scene, he started a funk/Indian classical fusion band called Indofunk in early 2000. This band was extremely successful, but broke up in 2005 due to scheduling conflicts and musicians moving out of town. Since then, Satish has been very active in the funk & groove and improvised music scenes, branching out into electronic music, avant garde computer-assisted music, and also music production for film and TV.

Greg Kelley

Greg Kelley began studying the trumpet at age 10. He attended the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore, where in addition to studying the Conservatory curriculum, he also immersed himself in a deep study of avant- garde and experimental music, eventually coming to the conclusion that his musical focus fell outside of the academic sphere. After his studies, Kelley moved back to his native Massachusetts, quickly insinuated himself into the local avant-garde circles and soon commenced a period of intense travel and collaboration, bringing him across the United States, throughout Europe, Japan and South America. He has appeared on over 60 albums and despite a more limited travel schedule, he still manages to play in a number of groups including Nmperign (as abstract improvisatory duo and as horn section for ex-Galaxie 500-ers Damon & Naomi), Heathen Shame, the undr quartet and the BSC, among others. Other collaborators have included Jandek, Keiji Haino, Donald Miller (Borbetomagus), Anthony Braxton, Kevin Drumm, Christian Wolff, Pauline Oliveros, Joe McPhee and Lionel Marchetti

Bob Keller

Born: June 12, 1944

I am a professor at Harvey Mudd College, who also teaches jazz improvisation. I perform occasionally, on trumpet or piano. Since 2005, I have managed the Impro-Visor project, which provides software to help musicians learn to improvise or improve their improvisation skills, by writing out solos over chord progressions. The software helps by color-coding notes, providing a database of licks to which one can add, and by generating new melodies on the fly.
