Kenneth M. Ash

Born: December 23, 1956

I picked up the horn for real on 1/1/00 and never looked back. I've had complications due to age and physicality along the way but, with from 5 to 12 (sometimes more) hours of woodshedding daily, I've come a long way in a short time. I've got a decent airstream and a respect for all notes, finding that they all have a life of thier own. I've played with The Hoosic Falls Community Band, The Washington County Concert Band, The Marble Valley Swing Band and continue to play with The Cambridge Band. I've jammed with local musicians in local pubs and have jammed numerous times at The Vermont Jazz Center in Brattleboro (and look forward to jamming at Spencertown, NY, though rising gas prices can prove prohibitive). For the last couple of years, I've performed as a "busker" or street musician during Bennington, Vermont's "Funky Friday", entertaining the streets of Downtown.

Sean Jones

Born: May 29, 1978

For the remarkable composer/trumpeter/educator/activist Sean Jones, the pursuit of Jazz is a most serious endeavor. Not just in terms of mastering the art form, but in its fullest meaning and purpose socially, philosophically and spiritually. Deeply influenced by his immersion in Gospel music in the church as a youth, Sean had an epiphany at the age of 19 while he was a student at Youngstown State University. That awakening occurred - as it has for so many serious-minded individuals both inside and outside of music - with his first hearing of the magnificent John Coltrane’s masterpiece A Love Supreme. “I was driving in my car at the time and I had to pull off the road
