Drummer and vocalist Kelby MacNayr has honed his skills performing with some of the finest names in jazz, from local legends such as the great Ian McDougall, Louise Rose, and Neil Swainson to international stars including David Sánchez, Tamir Hendelman, John Clayton, and Terell Stafford.

Jazz organist Dr. Tony Genge has built a career as a performer, teacher, and composer on both the East and West Coasts of Canada. He has performed with acclaimed artists including drummer Jeff Hamilton, saxophonist David “Fathead” Newman, vocalist Roberta Gambarini, and countless West Coast jazz artists.
