Neil has upheld the highest standards in musicianship and music education as well as swinging without remorse! Truly a long-time giant of Denver’s jazz scene, Neil and his muse, Karen Lee Bridge, will remind you with his classic arrangements and impeccable taste, of why we love this most American of music styles.

Wayne is a headliner guitarist playing high-octane octane straight-ahead jazz, traditional classics from the great American songbook, innovative bebop jazz and original compositions. Some of his recent performances have included the London, Tel Aviv, and Vail Jazz Festivals, a United Kingdom Tour, and Hawaii Tour.

Mark has made Denver his home, he has had years of experience playing with top-name players from all over the country. In addition to touring with Carmen McCrae, he has performed with Dizzy Gillespie, Rosemary Clooney, Dave Grusin, Eddie Harris, Joe Farrell, Roben Ford, Randy Brecker, Lew Tabackin and Regina Carter. Denver musicians consider themselves very fortunate to have regular access to his soulful, resonating tone, and his hard-swinging grooves.

Todd is the Percussion Area Coordinator at the University of Colorado Denver teaching drumset and a number of classes in the Music & Entertainment Industry Studies program. Living in NY for a number of years, he worked with Gerry Mulligan, Dr. Billy Taylor, Bucky Pizzarelli, and he has appeared with and recorded with Jon Hendricks, Mose Allison, Freddie Cole and many others.
