Gerald Albright Born and raised in Los Angeles, Albright was already an accomplished saxophonist by the time he enrolled at the University of Redlands. He launched his solo career in the infancy of what became the smooth jazz format.
Kim Waters Chart-topping saxophonist Kim Waters’ instantly recognizable sound has found the perfect equilibrium between sensitivity and brawn, intellect and emotion and technique and soulfulness. The prolific saxophonist, composer, and producer has enjoyed a career of longevity that is rare.
BLKBOK Born and raised in Detroit’s inner-city, BLKBOK (born Charles Wilson III), grew up in a music-filled house and by the time he was 8, BLKBOK was an acclaimed piano prodigy, winning statewide accolades and college-level competitions. It is no coincidence that Charles chose the name BLKBOK, which echoes that of one of the greatest pianists and composers of all time and the tag reflects the elements that have contributed to the artist’s identity and symbolizes his colorful journey from pop and hip-hop culture to his critically acclaimed, neo-classical debut album Black Book, and various Mixtape projects and collaborations.
Blake Aaron Drawing on a lifetime of diverse musical influences to create a masterful fusion of jazz, R&B, soul, rock, blues and Latin sounds, the Southern California based Aaron creates an expansive, fully expressive collection. Aaron launched his career as an L.A. studio musician and sideman and has recorded and/ or performed with an incredible array of jazz, pop and R&B artists. Aaron is an expressive artist, representing the many different facets of the music he loves and made him who he is.
Jeff Kashiwa Seattle native, Jeff Kashiwa became known as one of the most compelling young saxophonists in contemporary jazz. Kashiwa performed hundreds of shows all over the world and appeared on many of the band’s classic recordings.
