Joyce Cooling - Guitarist - Vocalist - Songwriter - Sometimes, all it takes is one incredible song for a renowned local performer to become an overnight national sensation. Bay Area jazz fans had known and loved Joyce Cooling as one of the region's most dynamic and popular guitarists for years when her San Francisco inspired hit single, "South of Market", and her debut CD, Playing It Cool, took the contemporary jazz world by storm in 1997. Both soared to #1 on the Gavin Report and Radio & Records NAC/smooth jazz charts and remained there for five consecutive weeks as the accolades came streaming in. Cooling was a nominee for Gavin's Smooth Jazz Artist of the Year, was named Best New Talent (Smooth Jazz) in the Jazziz Reader's Poll and was an easy choice for Artist of the Year by the nationally syndicated radio show, Jazz Trax. Her follow-up CD in 1999, Keeping Cool, also shot up the charts with meteoric speed and boasts yet another #1 radio hit ("Callie") and earned Joyce the Best Jazz Guitarist Of the Year Gibson Guitar Award.

George Duke - George Duke was born in San Rafael, California, and reared in Marin City, a working class section of Marin County. When he was just four years old, his mother took him to see Duke Ellington in concert. "I don't remember it too well," says George, "but my mother told me I went crazy. I ran around saying 'Get me a piano, get me a piano!'" He began his piano studies at age seven, absorbing the roots of Black music in his local Baptist church. "That's where I first began to play funky. I really learned a lot about music from the church. I saw how music could trigger emotions in a cause-and-effect relationship."

Nestor Torres - The music of Nestor Torres reflects a layering of influences, a range of tastes and textures. It is, to put this in the language of his native Puerto Rico, like a rich sancocho, a stew of tropical, Caribbean flavors! The master flutist and composer makes music for the senses - sweetly melodic and hotly rhythmic. A jazzman and a romance balladeer, he is the definitive, meditative musician for the post-New Age. http://www.nestortorres.com/

Albita - Albita began her professional career at fifteen in her native Cuba. Since the beginning her goal was to renew the traditional forms of Cuban music - like Cuban Country and the Son. With this concept started the composing and singing her originals in a peculiar way. Her first album "Habrá Música Guajira" (1988) shows ten songs oh her own and in all of them it is obvious the research and fusion that would characterize her future works. The single "Parranda, Laúd y Son" was number one on the top ten of many Latin American countries and was recorded by other singers and bands. In 1991 she went to Colombia under contract for a local record label. In the albums "Si se da la Siembra" and "Cantaré" from those days, she keeps including both Cuban standards and her originals. http://www.albitaonline.com/
