Next Performance: 3/20 (Saturday) - Harry's Attic 8:00 pm to 12:00 am (details...) |
 Walt KeysKeyboards Walt Keys (a.k.a. Walter Runge) is our resident journeyman. Walt loves to climb, hike and explore life to its fullest. His playing is no exception. To hear his interpretation of a jazz or latin song, you have heard a hundred times, makes you feel as though you are hearing it for the first time. Walt never takes the written melody for granted, but infuses it with his own special brand of flavor and verve. And his chordal stylings must be witnessed. Who dreams these combinations up? Whether burning up the ivories or laying down a foundation, come to the house that Walt built. Hear more on Walt at www.myspace.com/waltkeys.  Dave RenzSaxophone Dave Renz is the group scientist. Always thinking and concocting. His mellifluous ability to switch from alto to soprano to tenor sax from tune to tune amazes enough. Dave's attack can be like a spring rain to a full blown hurricane. If covering the melody, you may look forward to an array of interpretations. When blessing one with his improvisational skills, Dave shall build to a flurry untamed or savor the hidden passion in a tasteful choice of tones. Explore more with Dave on his other projects at www.myspace.com/theacousticgrooveproject or www.daverenz.com.  Scot SilverGuitar Scot Silver stretches his legs, arms and fingers a bit more with The Jazz Guise. Always the versatile player, Scot can comp a jazz tune with the best of 'em. His 'on the fly' parts creation for more exploratory repertoire always leaves the listener bewildered. Ballads will bring out the notes from a fairy tale. Uptempo swing will bebop your ears off. And take fusion and latin music, prepare to go on an 'odyssey' up and down the fretboard. With Scot, you get the full package, just beware of the sarcasm......in a fun way. Check out more Scot at www.scotsilver.com and his original band at www.getthenerve.com or www.myspace.com/getthenerve.  Jon GodinezBass Jon Godinez brings a strong sense to keeping the tune moving. His flowing jazz lines complement the other players perfectly. His funk and latin grooves take the music to new heights. Jon's solo ventures are a treat, be it a melodic undertaking or a full blown, virtuosic explosion. And you have never laughed as hard as when you are around this formidable musician. Check out Jon's original venture, The Godinez Bros. at http://www.myspace.com/thegodinezbrothers  Pat O'SheaDrums Pat O'Shea thunders onto our scene with precision and attentiveness to detail. Methodical brush work on the standards to unexplanable grooves on the latin and fusion material. Pat's drum work takes on a whole new voice in the group. His interlooping parts carry the melody and harmony to new heights, if called upon. And to witness a Pat O'Shea drum break is to journey to the Himalayas, without the expense or risk. Noone can complement the rhythms of each player 'on the fly' like Pat and noone can take dynamics to new heights............like Pat. |
