Don Byron
"Calling Don Byron a jazz musician is like calling the Pacific wet –
it just doesn't begin to describe it... Byron has carpentered an extraordinary career precisely by obliterating the very idea of category.” –TIME Magazine
“Showing us new ways of thinking and feeling about familiar experiences is one of the tasks of the true artist and is something Byron revels in.” –The Times, London |

Ron Miles
"Ron Miles is one of the finest trumpeters in jazz today. I can’t come up with a compelling reason why he should be anything other than a major name.” –Jazz Times
“Miles plays brilliantly, singing the melodies with a tone bright and vocalized, tinged with melancholy...” –Down Beat |

Parkington Sisters
In a perfect meeting of classical training, deep feeling for folk traditions, and family-bred musical instincts, the Parkington Sisters spin original stories and captivating melodies into songs at once timeless and thoroughly modern. Rose, Nora, Sarah, and Ariel, raised under the influence of the sea in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, play violin, viola, guitar, banjo, piano, accordion and share lead and background vocals. Drawing from a wide world of inspirations (Delta blues, Joni Mitchell, Igor Stravinsky, Astor Piazzolla, Radiohead), they produce a sound that is undeniably their own, distinguished by vibrant string arrangements, warm, interwoven harmonies, and voices that blend like only sisters can. "Their music was swept up in a natural enthusiasm, radiating love — for music, yes, but more so for each other." -Memphis Flyer |

“The drummer Dafnis Prieto stands out for his energy, his creativity and, perhaps most of all, his borderless musical worldview.” –The New York Times |

Tin Hat (formerly Tin Hat Trio)
"... the group blends elements of jazz, folk and classical chamber music to create unique, yet often eerie compositions that seem like the perfect movie score.” –Billboard
“Forget the definitions, and simply think of their music as compelling entertainment, rich with whimsy, imagination and intelligence.” –Los Angeles Times |
